Note
The petition has been dated speculatively to c. 1430-c. 1440 on the basis of references in the patent rolls. Nicholas Maisham appears in 1434 in an unrelated reference, and in 1441 is noted as being the former bailiff of Derby (CPR 1429-36, p.410-1; CPR 1436-41, p.482). Although it is quite possible that Maisham served again as bailiff, and does appear as late as 1451 with several others noted in this petition, the date range has been accepted because of Maisham being recorded as the former bailiff (CPR 1446-52, p.418).
