Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition appears to date to 1361 as a full entry in the close rolls seems to accord with the response to this petition (CCR 1360-4, p.193). However this close roll entry concerns a slightly different sum, and there is no explanation of the difference between the petition and the close roll entry.
