Note (Additional information about the record)
- Rees dates this petition to either 1345 or 1379-81, but both appear mistaken. Isabella, Countess of Bedford (clearly the daughter of Edward III who married Enguerrand de Coucy, the first Earl of Bedford) died in 1382, and thus presumably the petition dates (as noted on the guard) to shortly after her death.
