Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is assigned by Rot. Parl. vol. III, p.483a-b (no. 2) to 3 Henry IV (30 September 1401 - 29 September 1402), but although it was clearly delivered in parliament, there was no parliament in 3 Henry IV. Instead it should be dated from some time after the relevant grant of custody to the petitioners in 1403 (CPR 1401-5, p. 205)
