Note (Additional information about the record)
- There is some uncertainty over the dating of this petition. It appears to relate to the grant of confirmation of privileges in 1401 (CChR 1341-1417, p. 408), but is also associated, on the guard, with documents of 1424 (C 81/606/2315). A date range of 1400-1425 has therefore been given to accommodate these two possible contexts.
