Note (Additional information about the record)
- Notes on the guard make references to CPR 1354-8, pp. 385, 450; CCR 1354-60, p. 260; and CPR 1361-4, p. 206. However, none of these provides a precise contact for the petition. It is assigned here, impressionistically, to a context of c. 1360. The identification of Lords Bardolf and Scales depends on a more precise dating.
