Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? 1381 in accordance with the guard note that appears to be based on the charter roll inspeximus and confirmation (CChR 1341-1417, p. 277). However, this makes no mention of the things mentioned in this petition, and there has to be some reservation over the dating of the hand!
