Note (Additional information about the record)
- In Rot. Parl., vol III, p.54a (no.14), this petition is placed among the 'petitions in parliament' from 2 Richard II, taken from the originals. Specifically, the petitions on pp.50-54 are assigned to the parliament held at Gloucester on the Wednesday after the feast of St Luke, 2 Richard II (1378), while those on pp.69-70 are ascribed to the parliament held at Westminster at the quinzaine of Easter (1379). However, a note on the guard says '? 1377, cf. Close R. p.40', and CCR 1377-81, pp.40-41 is dated at Westminster, 6 November 1377. This would seem to be the response to the opposing party mentioned in the endorsement, in which case this petition would seem to belong to the parliament held at Westminster at the quinzaine of Michaelmas, 1 Richard II (1377).
