The King's grandfather [Edward III] then assigned him land worth 1000 marks, in part satisfaction of the remaining 4000 marks.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.35-6 dates this petition to? 1384, mentioning a grant of £100 a year made to her then for custody of the Earl of Pembroke's heir, but this is indecisive. The petition has the date '? 1390' written on it. This may be too late a date given that the style of reference to Edward III seems to suggest his relatively recent death; furthermore, this petition (and the many duplicates of it) appears to date from before SC 8/19/933 (and the many duplicates of that), since it omits reference to the taking back of the lands by Edward III and may therefore imply that the petitioner now has them back in her possession. Given that there is no direct evidence of the outcome of either petition, however, they are both securely datable only within a date range from the accession of Richard II (1377) to the creation of Margaret as duchess of Norfolk (1397).
