Note (Additional information about the record)
- The signet letter in which this petition was formerly enclosed was dated at Hertford Castle on 4 June (no year given), and addressed to the archbishop of Canterbury, the chancellor. As noted on the guard, this would indicate a date of either 1407-9 or 1412, when Thomas Arundel was chancellor, but the lack of extant details of Henry IV's itinerary from this period prevents further precision. The name of the bailiff has been inserted, and is difficult to decipher, as it is written over the abbreviation mark on 'Tailor' below.
