Note (Additional information about the record)
- Most petitions against Alice Perrers in SC 8 apparently date from the parliament of October 1378, on the basis of annotations on SC 8/94/4691 and SC 8/148/7363, which refer specifically to petitions against Alice in that parliament. Unlike the majority of those, this one specifies that Alice was married to William Windsor, and should therefore be dated between that same parliament of 1378, when Windsor revealed the marriage, and his own death in 1384, and probably before 1380 when the manors were granted to Windsor (CPR 1377-81, p. 504).
