- Dated on the guard to '? 1315-6' without comment. The hand and language suggest that it may be slightly earlier than this date, but probably not much later. Pons de Castillon was seneschal of Saintonge between 1 April 1305 and his death in or shortly before August 1308, and the document clearly dates from after this point.
