Note
A pardon was issued on 1 March 1384 to John le Squel for his part in the death of Walter Webbeley at Leominster on 10 September 1379 (CPR 1381-5, p.380). Given that John le Squel only appears in the second list of people recorded here, and is the only person from the second list omitted from the first (and that this does not seem to be a scribal error), this petition probably dates from some time after the granting of this pardon. Audley died in 1391.
