Note
From the details given the Abbot making the request is Robert de Popham (1282-92). Given that 'discussions' regarding the abbot's second request were ordered on 15 January 1287 (CCR 1279-88, pp.441-2), the endorsement, delaying a decision until an Easter Parliament, suggests a reference to the prospective parliament of Easter 1286, and hence that it was presented shortly before then.
