Note (Additional information about the record)
- Robert de la Mare was lord of Aldermaston between 1404 and 1431, and, given the handwriting, the reference to the eighth year of the reign of 'King Henry, father of the present king' clearly dates the petition to the reign of either Henry V or Henry VI. The petition bears similar damage to a number of other petitions from the 1427-8 parliament (for example see SC 8/121/6007, 6008, 6011, SC 8/124/6187), while the endorsement of 11 February would indicate that it dates from the second session of that Parliament (27 January - 25 March 1428).
