Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? 1391-? c. 1423 as the petition clearly refers to the earl of Northumberland as warden of the East March and the first earl held the office from May 1391 until his son was granted the office, and the second earl held the office in the period 1417-c. 1423. The latter date seems morel likely based on the hand, but there is little else to substantiate this.
