Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated to c. 1338 with reference to Carte, vol. I pp.72 (dated 20 November 3 Edward III (1329) (m.1 of C 61/41)), where the grant is made at pleasure, and 83 (dated 4 July 10 Edward III (1336) (m. 3 of C 61/48)), where the original grant for ten years from 30 May 5 Edward III is extended for a further five. The mention of thirty-two years' service to the king and his father would give a date of 1339 at the earliest, and, if nine years of this grant of ten years from 30 May 1331 have passed, this gives a date of 1340 (although this ignores the extension of the grant for a further five years). However, c. 1340 seems the most likely date. Check m.22 of C 61/52, dated 21 June 1340, and m.33 of C 61/53.
