Note (Additional information about the record)
- Tentatively dated on the guard to c. 1293, with regard to records of disputes between the citizens of London and the merchants of Gascony found on pp.87 and 99 of Rot. Parl. vol. I, (from, respectively mid-April 1292 (PROME, Edward I, roll 5, introduction) and Easter or July 1293 (PROME, Edward I, roll 6, introduction)): but these do not seem to be relevant. The hand and language, however, would seem to suggest a date during the reign of Edward I, and probably before 1300.
