Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although now largely illegible, enough of this petition survives to link it with the grant to Maud (or Matilda) on 1 April 1401 (CPR 1399-1401, p.469). Enough text remains to associate it with the terms of the grant, and the date of 1 April corresponds with the date given in the partially-legible endorsement.
