V, Thomas his son and heir was restored to his estate and dignity saving those estates of which his father was seised of jointly or severally to his use at the time of the forfeiture in fee simple.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated by the heading in Rot. Parl. IV, p.309 where it is noted that the petition comes from 4 Hen. VI dating this to 1 Sept. 1425-31 Aug. 1426. As this is a parliamentary petition it must therefore come from the Leicester parliament of February 1426. However the full details of the commission and inquisition on this matter were not enrolled until 7 July 1428, so it is possible that the date of 1426 is not correct in this case (CPR 1422-9, pp.496-9).
