- Nature of endorsement
- [On face]1) The seneschal should be ordered to determine why the land was taken into the King's hand, and the value of the payments for the king, and if this payment should be made, if it ought to pertain to the king according to the custom of the land, and then certify the king.2) The seneschal and constable should be ordered to wall the castle, so that it is not in danger from enemies.
