Note
A cover note preceding this file of petitions indicates that the petitions SC 8/344/E1262-E1316B mostly date to the period 1481-1483, and nearly all appear to belong to the period 1471-1483, this latter date being the dates that Edward Plantagenet, Edward IV's eldest son, held the principality of Wales and the county of Chester. This petition is dated to the latter range, 1471-1483 because there is no evidence that would allow a narrower dating. The guard note does suggest a date of c. 1481 based on an unrelated patent roll reference which refers to John Harcourt, and on another apparently unrelated petition in this file that again refers to Harcourt and is dated to c. 1481, but as no direct link can be found to relate this petition to these other references a wider date must be adopted (CPR 1476-85, p. 103; SC 8/344/E1304).
