Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '? c. 1377', with reference to Rot. Parl. vol. III, p.21a no. xlv, which is a common petition from the parliament of October 1377, which seems to refer to the same matter, and in its response specifically mentions the counties of Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland (although not Lancashire). It would therefore seem likely that this petition was presented at that parliament.
