Note (Additional information about the record)
- Permission for the foundation of Axholme by Thomas Mowbray was granted on 26 June 1396 (CPR 1396-9, p.77). Mowbray, referred to here as Earl Marshal and Earl of Nottingham, was created Duke of Norfolk on 29 September 1397, and hence presumably the petition dates to the intervening period. He is described as being absent on the king's service at the time of the petition, and is known to have been sent on an embassy to Germany in early 1397, suggesting that the petition probably dates to around that time.
