Note
Dated in Sayles, Affairs, p.161-2, to 1333, and on the guard to c. 1333, with reference to SC 8/43/2137 - although, if it is the writ sent in response to the Archbishop's previous petition (as seems likely from the fact that it does not mention this being the second time of asking), it must date from before that time.
