Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition refers to a half a clerical tenth due at Midsummer (24 June) next, and given the endorsement to the Duke of Gloucester, this would appear to be 24 June 1437, the payment date of the final moiety of the grant of one and a half tenths made by the clergy of Canterbury province on 23 December 1435, the only such occasion during this period when such a payment was due on this date. Given that the petition must date to the year leading up to 24 June 1437, the endorsement therefore presumably refers to 2 March 1437, which also fell during a session of Parliament.
