Note (Additional information about the record)
- The response is dated to 28 May in the king's ninth year, while the hand would suggest a date in the early part of the fifteenth century. Both Lowys and Overton appear in the patent rolls in connection with Kentish matters in the 1430s, and hence a date of 1431 is probably most likely.
