Note
CPR 1361-4 p.507 is dated 25 May 1364, and CPR 1364-7 p.52 is dated 16 December 1364: neither seems to be directly relevant, but they give an approximate date for John Brice and the 'Grace Dieu'. They also suggest that, although 'Jernemuth' would normally be Great Yarmouth, here it refers to Little Yarmouth.
