Note (Additional information about the record)
- Tentatively dated on the guard to the parliament of May 1421, with reference to SC 8/24/1157-1161, which can be securely dated to this parliament. There seems to be no obvious connection, although the dating would be quite acceptable from the point of view of the hand.
