Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is speculatively dated to? 1395-? 1422 on the basis of the hand. The guard note suggests a possible date of 1410, but this is based on a totally unrelated reference to John Lopynford in the patent rolls (CPR 1408-13, p.133). The guard note comment also notes that Lopynford occurs from the reign of Richard II right through to Henry V, so that such a narrow date in not really acceptable on such flimsy evidence.
