Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1380, with reference to a grant to the petitioner of 10 July 1380, which would appear to have been issued in connection with this petition. It was formerly attached to SC 8/128/6354, a subsequent petition relating to this matter, and given the existence of a duplicate of this petition at SC 8/128/6367, written by a different scribe, it seems clear that the present petition is a later copy, compiled as evidence to be submitted with the petition at SC 8/128/6354.
