Note (Additional information about the record)
- The reference to Richard, former king of England, presumably dates this petition to some point after the deposition of Richard II in 1399. Given that it mentions confirmations by Richard of privileges granted by Edward I, this suggests that it was sent to Richard's immediate successor, Henry IV, rather than a later king.
