Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1387, the date given in the petition for the first of these payments of arrears, but by Rees to c. 1384, the date of the original grant. This original grant was made to the Earl on 23 August 1384, but makes no provision for the payment of arrears, and by the original terms the last payment of these 6000 marks would not have been due until c.1389-90. Presumably the earl's payments were soon in arrears, and this petition formed part of an attempt to resolve this; hence it probably does date to c. 1387.
