Note
On 24 May 1387, Domyngus was to be bailed from the Mmarshalsea, following his impeachment for counterfeiting by the officials of Bristol. He claimed that Norwich had sealed a writ with a counterfeit seal, which he had earlier seen him making, but Norwich had already been pardoned. Therefore presumably this petition from Norwich dates to some point shortly before this order.
