Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1384 because the petition itself refers to a statute made in the 7th year of the king's reign, thus placing it in 1383-4, and the petition is unlikely to postdate this by long. In addition, a not written in the dorse dates this to 8 Richard II.
