Note (Additional information about the record)
- This may be one of the notes enclosed with no.5175 of C 81/187, which is dated 27 January, 6 Edward III (1332), although the phrase 'notes des lettres' does not sound like it: but the request in the petition of a delay in the plea from Easter to Michaelmas would fit with this date. In any case it must date from around this time. Note that these Bishops are translated, to Canterbury and Winchester respectively, in late 1333.
