Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1399 as Bowet forfeited in 1398 as part of what appears to have been Richard II's attack on the former appellants, and though no specific order can be found in accordance with the request in the printed sources, it seems from the favourable grants in the patent rolls in 1399 that Bowet was restored with the usurpation (CPR 1399-1401, pp. 194, 199).
