Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '? c. 1316', with reference to CPR 131-7 p.394, which is a pardon to the abbey of a sum of money which was wrongly exacted from them, but appears to have nothing to do with this matter. Petitions Relating to Wales p.76 also bases its dating on this pardon. The hand and the Latin endorsement would suggest that a date around this period is not implausible, but there appears to be no other evidence.
