Note (Additional information about the record)
- Printed in Rot. Parl. vol. III, p.447b, where this petition, and the rest of the file of which it once formed part, is assigned to the Parliament of 1 Henry IV. However, this dating has been shown to be incorrect; other petitions in the file can be securely dated to the 1397 Parliament, thus also dating this petition to that parliament.
