Note (Additional information about the record)
- Rot. Parl. vol. III p.276a-b (no. 11) dates this petition to the parliament of January 1390, but the dating of many of the petitions ascribed by them to particular years of Richard II is not very secure. A note on the guard reads '? 1391 or 1390', with no further explanation given. A note on the guard of the duplicate, SC 8/21/1034, however, reads '? 1390' and a note on the dorse, which is however not contemporary with the petition, reads '13 Ric 2' (ie. 1389-90).
