Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note on the dorse states that this petition has come from a Chancery file from the time of Richard II, and a date in the early part of the reign would seem to accord with the hand and language, and with the dating of the rest of the petitions from this file. Petitions Relating to Wales, p.481 dates to 1369-72, but this is probably too early.
