Note (Additional information about the record)
- Richard de Vere, Earl of Oxford, died in 1417. From the address, this petition is probably from the early years of the reign of Henry VI. The mention of Nicholas Thorley, whom the Countess of Oxford married before 13 October 1421, would suggest a date of or after 1422.
