- Nature of request

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to?1394, but this is too late. The events described in this petition are related in VCH Herts, vol. ii, pp.457-8. John de Whitwell died in 1374, after which Perrers claimed and took part of his estate. The abbot regained seisin on her fall in 1377, but her husband re-started the dispute in 1381. Like other petitions against Alice Perrers, it is most likely that this is datable to the parliament of October 1378 on the basis of annotations on SC 8/94/4691 and SC 8/148/7363, which refer specifically to petitions against Alice in that parliament.
