Note (Additional information about the record)
- Stacy was appointed as prebendary on 30 October 1387, and an order protecting his possession was issued on 6 December 1387. A writ to Kirkstede to show his title was issued on 13 December 1387 (SC 8/223/11122), while a writ to the sheriff of Bedfordshire to summon Stacy was issued on 18 June 1388 (SC 8/223/11121). This petition clearly dates to some point in this period, but the chronology is not clear, although it seems most likely that this is the petition which prompted the order to Kyrkestede of 13 December (SC 8/223/11122).
