Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? 1425 as the petition refers to events at the Westminster parliament held in the second year of Henry VI that was held in October 1323. As this is clearly a parliamentary petition the petition is likely to have been presented in the next parliament held in April 1425 at Westminster, though it cannot be discounted that this was presented to a parliament subsequent to this.
