Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated in the endorsement to 21 February in the king's twenty-second year, and the dating at Great Haywood clearly dates this to 1399. The village named in the petition as 'Bosworth' would seem to be Market Bosworth rather than nearby Husbands Bosworth, based on the slightly different variants employed for the two villages during the medieval period.
