Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1377-8, with reference to Rot. Parl. Vol. III, p.9, which appears to be a record of the earlier petition of the king's first year referred to in this petition. If this is the case, the present petition presumably dates to the Gloucester parliament of 1378, or a later parliament.
