Note (Additional information about the record)
- Rot. Parl. vol. III, pp.127b-128a edits this petition amongst those presented in parliament in 5 Richard II (22 June 1381 - 21 June 1382), although not all of these petitions necessarily date from these years. Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.35-6 dates this petition to? 1384, mentioning a grant of £100 a year made to her then for custody of the Earl of Pembroke's heir, but this is indecisive. SC 8/19/939, which is a duplicate of this one, has the date '? 1390' written on it. This may be too late a date given that the style of reference to Edward III seems to suggest his relatively recent death; furthermore, this petition (and the many duplicates of it) appears, if anything, to date from before SC 8/19/933 (and the many duplicates of that), since it omits reference to the taking back of the lands by Edward III and may therefore imply that the petitioner now has them back in her possession. Given that there is no direct evidence of the outcome of either petition, however, they are both securely datable only within a date range from the accession of Richard II (1377) to the creation of Margaret as duchess of Norfolk (1397).
