Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c.1388, with reference to a mention of a Howel Trefnant in the Calendar of Close Rolls: this reference however, does not seem to exist. From the hand and the language the petition would seem to date from late in the reign of Edward III or from the reign of Richard II.
