Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to either c. 1413 or c. 1422, with reference to the petitioner's service to the king, his father and his grandfather. The handwriting would certainly suggest one of the Lancastrian monarchs. The petitioner's reference to over 40 years service (thus dating back to the 1370s or 1380s) would suggest that he began in the service of John of Gaunt as Duke of Lancaster, and hence date the petition to 1413, but Henry IV was born in 1367, and the petitioner may have served Henry during his father's lifetime. Whichever monarch is concerned, the petition would almost certainly date to the early part of the reign.
