Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to 1390, with reference to CPR 1388-92, p. 347, a commission to enquire into the matter of this petition. This is also the date of the Chancery warrant with which it was formerly enclosed (C 81/517 no.6461); however the sewing marks on the petition do not correspond to any on the warrant, and so it must refer to a later connection.
