Note (Additional information about the record)
- Notes on the guard suggest that this may date c. 1376 or c. 1380, but the references supplied are not secure and have more to do with the context of SC 8/107/5315 and 5336. The petition has been dated more impressionistically here, on the basis of the hand, to the last quarter of the fourteenth century.
