Note
Uncertain date: collected among a group of petitions assigned to 1383-4 in Rot. Parl., III, p. 182 (no. 24), but the evidence of the dorse indicates that it must have been in process at the time of the Cambridge parliament of 1388 and at least the parliament that followed that one. This receives some confirmation from SC 8/113/5633 which clearly comes from the Westminster parliament held in February 1388, to which this seems to have been a counter petition.
