Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition can be closely dated to 1432-1435 on the basis of the signatures on the bottom of the petition. John Stafford was chancellor from 1432, and Bishop Morgan of Ely died in 1435. The dating is a little confused in the petition by the reference to Edw. III as the king's great-grandfather.
