Note (Additional information about the record)
- An indenture of agreement, dated 14 November 1385 (CCR 1385-9, pp.92-3), gives further details of this incident, which occurred on 7 September 1383. The Earl of Devon served as admiral of the western fleet between 13 November 1383 and 29 January 1385, thus suggesting that the petition dates to between the end of his term of office and 14 May 1385, the date on which a chancery warrant (with which the petition was formerly enclosed) was sent to the Treasurer.
