Note
This petition is edited in Rot. Parl. vol. IV pp.195b-196a (no. 8) amongst petitions from the parliament of November 1 Henry VI (1422), and this would seem to be confirmed by the fact that they are asking for arrears only since last Easter.CPR 1422-9 p.13 is dated at Westminster, 10 December 1422.
