Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1387 in accordance with the guard note. The petition has an old Chancery Files no. endorsed on it, and 594, according to the guard note, dates to 7-11 Hen. VI. The petition is clearly not of this date, so that the guard note's suggestion that the petition was originally wrongly in that Chancery File is probably correct. The petition refers to events around Martinmas in the 10th year of the king's reign, and the hand does seem most likely to be that of 10 Ric. II in accordance with the guard note.
