Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition refers to the attacks occurring during the king's first year. Men named John Drewe (or similar variants) served as mayor of Bridgwater in 1483-4, 1487-8, 1492-3 and 1497-8, which would suggest that the petition dates from the reigns of either Richard III or Henry VII. This would seem consistent with the handwriting.
