Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition refers to Thirnscough coming to York on 20 September in the king's sixth year, which is probably 6 Richard II (1382). A commission into this matter was issued on 6 May 1388, and although there is no direct connection between this petition and that commission, it appears likely that it dates from around the same time, and the handwriting would seem to correspond to a date around that time.
