Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1327-30 p.231 is dated 7 February 1328. The name of Adam de Lymbergh on the dorse would however suggest a date rather earlier than this, as petitions endorsed in this way are usually from the early 1320s, and it is possible that this grant is an additional one made after the original seven-year grant had expired (another grant for three years was made on 30 January 1333 (CPR 1330-4 p.396.
