Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1401-1403 as the office was originally granted to the petitioner on 25 November 1401 with the fee to be paid at the Exchequer, but this grant was vacated as the petitioner was subsequently granted to him with the fee to be paid from the issues of the county of York on 12 August 1403 (CPR 1401-5, p.28). The petition probably dates to some time between the two as the petition does not suggest a request for the change of the means of payment.
