Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition evidently relates to a dispute between William de Brien and Sir John Devereux (Steward of the Household and father-in-law of Philippa, daughter and co-heir of William's elder brother, Guy (d.1386)) concerning Philippa's inheritance, which included the barony of Laugharne in Carmarthenshire. Sir John requested and received a pardon for his part in an enfeoffment of this property without licence in 1388 (SC 8/268/13391, CPR 1385-9, p.500), and the petition presumably dates to some point between the death of William and Guy's father, also Guy, in 1390 and William's own death in 1395. It probably pre-dates Sir John Devereux's own death on 22 February 1393, but this is uncertain from the petition.
