Note (Additional information about the record)
-
This petition is dated on the guard 1392-1400 (Aubrey de Veer was Earl of Oxford from January/February 1393- April 1400) with a further dating to 'prob. 1394'. It is assigned by Rot. Parl. vol. III p.326a (no. 7) to 17 Richard II (22 June 1393 - 21 June 1394), and a note at the foot of the dorse (probably later) reads '17 Ric. II'. Neither of these is infallible, but it probably dates from shortly after de Veer's restoration to the earldom in 1393: the other possibility, that it is from very early in the reign of Henry IV, is ruled out by the fact that it refers to his lands having been 'en voz meyns'.
