Addressees
King and Council.

Note
Like other petitions against Alice Perrers, it is 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. Whether it was presented to the same parliament as the near-duplicate at SC 8/121/6022 is unclear.
