Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition, clearly the second or later in a sequence, is dated on the dorse to 1503-9, with reference to offences by John Kent in the honour of?Ampthill, or to 1489-1502, with reference to the counties of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire 'against' the Prince of Wales. Given the context, Wallyngworth would appear to be a mis-spelling for Wallingford.
