- Rot. Parl. vol. IV, p.30a (no.8), assigns this petition to 1414, and most of the surrounding petitions that can be dated seem to be from that year.SC 8/23/1140, from the November parliament of 1414, is a complaint from Richard Stanop against complaints made against him by a Margaret Basset in the parliament of April 1414, and mentions other matters: perhaps these complaints are from that parliament also.
