Note (Additional information about the record)
- The common petitions in Rot. Parl. vol. III pp.291b-293b were presented to the parliament of November 1391, and ask for the restitution of John Norhampton, after the repeal of the judgments against him in the parliament of November 1390, and for the repeal of the judgments against Richard Norbury and John More. This petition would seem to date from around the same time.
