Note (Additional information about the record)
- Presumed as dated to 1348 in PROME, parliament of January-February 1348, appendix, no. 14. Legat is named as an offender in 1346, and may be the same individual who is the subject of a commission of oyer and terminer where it appears that he is recorded as having been murdered in 1350. Though there is nothing definitive to tie this to 1348, a date around that time therefore seems appropriate.
