Source notes
The year is 7 Edward I, i.e. 20 November 1278 to 19 Nov. 1279.
IRHB comments
There are two Warks in Northumberland: Wark on Tweed and Wark on Tyne. Two of Robert Hode's co-jurors are surnamed "de Pressefenne", and there is a place named Pressen just 3 km SSW of Wark on Tweed, so the latter is most probably the locality intended.
