Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although the dating clause is damaged, it may refer to the king's twelfth year, and hence the document has been tentatively assigned to c. 1319, as the fourteenth-century handwriting would tend to favour Edward II's reign more than Edward III. The document is clearly a stray in the SC 8 series.
