Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1440 on the basis of the guard reference. It is not entirely clear why this dating has been adopted by the author of the guard note, though it seems very likely that the date is not too distant from the true dating because the petition is addressed to the duke of Gloucester, but clearly not in his capacity as protector of the realm during Henry VI's minority. In addition the hand, and the fact that the petition is in English does suggest a later date. Lord Poynings did not die until 1446.
