Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition can be dated to 1419 by the dating clause in the response that makes this 14 February in the 6th regnal year, and although Henry V is not by name specified, he was regent from 1417-1421. It is not impossible that this could be Henry VI's reign, but it seems unlikely.
