Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1360. The petition recites a writ of 18 February 1360, and it makes clear that the writ was in response to an earlier petition to parliament. The original petition must have been presented to the November parliament held at Westminster in 1359, so it would seem likely that if this petition was also submitted to parliament that it would have been submitted in the March or May parliaments of 1360, or possibly the January parliament of 1361.
