Note (Additional information about the record)
- The reference to the king's grandfather clearly dates the petition to the reign of Richard II, while the appearance of other similar petitions in the rolls of parliaments held in the final years of Edward III's reign and the early part of Richard II's would suggest that this petition also dates to that period.
