Note (Additional information about the record)
- The proviso appears in two acts of resumption, so that it is probable that identical or near identical petitions were submitted for the proviso to be inserted. However, as the petition is amongst other petitions that come from 1451, this petition can be dated to that date from the parliament held at Westminster (29 Henry VI) (Rot. Parl. Vol. V, p.210).
