Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has been dated to c. 1350 as it seems that the petition is yet another stage in the dispute between St Mary's abbey and the mayor and community of York over the borough and liberties of Bootham, and probably follows on from the king's taking of the borough into his protection on 20 April 1350, Ughtred being appointed one of the keepers of the borough (CPR 1348-50, p.497).
