Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard '? c. 1323, cf. 222'. SC 8/5/222 is a confirmation of the charters of Beverley concerning its wall. It is almost certainly not the same occasion and its relevance seems limited. However, the hand seems similar, and the name 'Herl.' of the scribe following the note 'Coram rege' would place it at about this period. The French endorsement, however, might suggest a date between 1323 and the end of Edward II's reign, rather than before 1323 - although this is conjecture, and, as many of the other petitions in this file are from 1321-1322, a date of c. 1321-1327 seems likely.
