The petition is dated to c. 1387 as a response to what appears to be another petition by one of the petitioners on a closely related matter dates to November 1387 (CPR 1385-9, p.394). As the matter was clearly not settled by March 1388, it is possible that the petition dates to then or later (CCR 1385-9, p.387).
