Note (Additional information about the record)
- Tentatively dated on the basis of the hand. A note on the guard suggests that the priory might be Wenlock, where Henry, prior 1284-1319, was succeeded by Guichard de Caro Loco, who was still prior in 1344 - although the identification of Richard with Guichard is by no means obvious.
