Commons in parliament.
Nature of request
Request that the commons seek from the lords authority for the granting of letters patent to the petitioners according to a schedule annexed to this bill.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] Let it be sent to the lords.
Note
The way in which the request is formulated indicates that this was made during the minority of Henry VI, and the connection with SC 8/110/5457, on which is written 'le roy le voet' (the king wills it), suggests a date towards the end of the minority: c. 1429 is here suggested.
