N.B. This document is not a "Copy of Court Roll" - it has not the formal superscription, sealing or frank of that kind of Evidence. At the top and bottom edges the descenders and ascenders of a line of writing can be seen, suggesting that this entry has been cut out of a membrane containing others. Also, in another document of equal date respecting the same conveyance, the Jurors list ends "...& aliis domini Regis fidelibus", whereas in this doct. the list ends "...& aliis domini principis fidelibus" |
