- Elizabeth, widow of John Reynald, sergeant at arms, now a recluse in the cemetary of the church of St Margaret, Westminster, states that Henry IV granted to her and her husband an annuity of 20 marks, for term of both their lives and the life of the survivor. Her husband died immediately afterwards, but Elizabeth was seised of the annuity until the manor from which the annuity was to be taken was granted to Queen Joan in dower; after which time she received nothing. Henry V granted her an annuity of £10 to replace this, but this lasted only for his lifetime. She asks the commons to ask the lords to have pity on her, that she might continue to have this £10 at the King's pleasure, from the time of his father's death.
