Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '? c. 1327 -? c. 1340' with reference to CPR 1338-40 p.475, which is dated at Westminster, 2 May 1340, and to CCR 1337-9 p.445, dated at Northampton, 26 July 1338. It is however by no means certain that Adam de Donecaster, keeper of the king's horses, is the same person as the petitioner, although if he were, this would presumably date this petition from between July 1338, when he still seems to be in active work, and his death before May 1340. The wider date range offered on the guard is proposed here.
