Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated in a note on the guard to 'c. 1327, ref. charters confirmed by Edward, king's father': and both from the hand, and from the probability that the first years of a new reign would be a likely time for a prior to try to get the defective confirmation of a previous king corrected, it is likely to be from the first few years of Edward III.
