Note (Additional information about the record)
- The notes of the guard give a series of possible dates between 1377 and 1397, and suggest c. 1390. However, it may be closer to 1377, on the basis that it does not describe Margaret as countess, a title she adopted in that year. It must date from within the reign of Richard II.
