Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '?1417-1422' with reference to the Duke of Gloucester as Guardian of England. The seizure of Elizabeth's land took place in 5 Henry V (21 March 1417-20 March 1418). This petition would therefore seem to come from the parliament of December 1420, over which the Duke of Gloucester presided. The date of 15 December mentioned on the face confirms this.
