Type of Transaction
Petition
From Source
2/87/3 (Duncan, May Docs., no. 57)
Firm date
10 July 1296 X circa 20 August 1297
Dating Notes
This was certainly presented after the overlordship of Edward I had been acknowledged by the Scottish baronage, and probably after the resignation of King John. It refers to bishop William Fraser as though he were still alive, and accordingly it is datable 10 July 1296 x 20 August 1297, though the former date is not absolutely certain.
Primary
