Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note on the front of the guard suggests a date of c. 1396, with reference to a letter to the petitioner of 2 March 1396 (Calendar of Papal Letters, IV (1302-1404), p.539), re-appointing him as administrator of the bishopric of Coutances. However, another note on the dorse of the guard suggests a date of c. 1400, with reference to an enrolment on the French rolls of 1 March 1400 along similar lines ('Catalogues des Rolles Gascons', II, p.179). The petition clearly dates from this general period, although the earlier date is probably slightly more likely
