The petition lists among the executors of Henry V's will who are now dead Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter (died 31 December 1426), Ralph de Nevill, Earl of Westmorland, (died 21 October 1425), Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Worcester (died 16 April 1422), John, Lord Clifford (died 13 March 1422), and Henry, Lord FitzHugh (died 11 January 1425), so it must date from at least 1427.
