Addressees
King.

Note
This petition evidently relates to the long-running dispute between the Montagu brothers which continued in the Court of Chivalry for many years from 1382 onwards. It appears to relate to the entry in CPR 1381-5, pp.587-8, and as such probably formed part of John Montagu's appeal in Parliament in November 1384 (DNB).
