Note (Additional information about the record)
- On 20 October 1383, Rose (or Roos) was granted lands in Cambridgeshire formerly held by Hanchache, following the latter's execution after his participation in the Peasants' Revolt. These are presumably the lands referred to here, and thus the petition probably dates to some point after that grant. The petition is on paper, damaged in places and written in a very rough hand with numerous insertions and deletions, suggesting that it may be a draft rather than the finished request.
