Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1377 as it is clearly a petition presented to Richard II, the petition referring to the king's grandfather, and Gaunt's father. The earldom of Richmond was surrendered by Gaunt 25 June 1372, so that the petition dates to quite some time after the events detailed in the petition.
