Note (Additional information about the record)
- A series of commissions of enquiry into this and other seizures of land allegedly committed by Tresilian and his followers were issued in July 1388. However, the commission in CPR 1385-9, p.541 was clearly in response to SC 8/297/14802 rather than the present petition, but presumably both date from the same period.
