Compare this one from the same year which is much more typical of the early petitions hand

So basically it doesn’t really match any other petition. Petitions were often written up by local scribes - the petitioner in this case is a Jew, the letter forms almost look a bit Hebrew because of the unusual spacing and squareness of the letters particularly on chastel, but I might be reaching.

Anyone recognise this hand it’s extremely unusual for a hand in a petition but it might be a mid 13th c. I’ve not come across.
I’ve got a theory of why it might be different but it’s a but out there.
