General Notes:
Peter Corbet, it appears, was "a mighty hunter," for, in the 9th King Edward I [1281], he obtained letters patent from the sovereign authorising him to take wolves in all the royal forests in various counties, a proof of the falsehood of the common belief that our land is indebted to the exertions of King Edgar for the extirpation of that savage beast of prey. This Peter Corbet, of Caus, had summons to parliament as one of the barons of the realm from the 22nd of Edward I [1294], to his death in 1300. By Alice his wife, he had three sons, Thomas, Peter and John. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 136, Corbet, Barons Corbet]
Peter Corbet, of Caus Castle, Salop (quite possibly that Pier or Peter Corbet who was called to Parliament by writ of summons 24 June 1295, thus according to later doctrine becoming 1st Lord (Baron) Corbet. [Burke's Peerage]
