Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the dorse to the first Parliament of Henry VI, and, as it claims, seems to correspond with a long entry about this matter on the parliament roll. No petitioner is specified, and although clearly concerned with Queen Catherine's dower, it was almost certainly presented on her behalf, rather than by her in person. The problem arose because the traditional estates of the Queens of England were still held by Henry IV's widow, Joan of Navarre.
