Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? 1403 because other petitions from the same petitioners on the same matter date to this time, and also because Henry IV granted the alien priory and the rectory and parish of Bonby to the petitioners on 4 April 1403 (SC 8/229/11416; C 81/1399, no. 34; CPR 1401-5, pp. 217, 270). It is not entirely clear that the grants made in 1403 were made in response to this petition or one of the others.
