Note (Additional information about the record)
- Tentatively dated to c. 1400, as the petition appears to date from after the death of Alice Perrers. CPR 1399-1401 p.546 mentions some tenements in the parish of All Hallows the Less, which may well be those in this petition, describing them as having belonged to Alice de Wyndesore, John Weston and Raymond Bers, and as having come into the King's hand through the forfeiture of John, Earl of Huntingdon, who held them of Alice's grant. The document, dated 21 September 1401, grants them to John, Earl of Somerset.
