Note (Additional information about the record)
- Endorsement dated 2 June 9 Henry V (1421). It is odd in this case that there is no mention of Henry's gift of the manor to Louis de Robesart (8 August, 8 Henry V (1420)): might this perhaps have been a much earlier petition, only considered in 1421?CPR 1422-9 pp.90-91, a response to a later petition, is dated at Westminster, 4 January 1423.
