Note (Additional information about the record)
- Thomas Barneby, constable of Bordeaux, died in office on 28 March 1427 (M.G.A. Vale, English Gascony, p.247). The next parliament met on 13 October 1427, and, as the petition is addressed to 'the commons of the present parliament', presumably it was presented to that gathering. However, Barneby's successor, Bernard Angevin, had taken over immediately, and was confirmed in office by the seneschal on 17 April 1427 (Vale, p.247), six months before that Parliament opened. Either the petitioners did not know this, or the appointment still required royal confirmation.
