Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated to 1420 by the reference to the Duke of Gloucester as Guardian of England and to John de Arundel. A note on the guard suggests that it may be from early in the reign of Henry VI: the fact that Arundel was acting 'par comandement depar le Roy Dengleterre' might suggest orders from Henry V in France: but it might merely suggest that he gave his instructions in the King's name.
