Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c.1399, with reference to another petition from this petitioner at SC 8/190/9482. However, the grant to Sy was made on 22 November 1399 (repeated with minor alterations on 7 December 1399), and as the petition appears to refer to arrears, it presumably dates from some point after the grant was made. Some of the missing details can be supplied from the related petition and the original grants.
