Source notes

Wakefield Manor court rolls; court held at Wakefield (West Riding of Yorkshire), on Friday, 13th July, 18 Edw. II [1324]. The entry occurs under the MS heading 'Alverthorp' (Alverthorpe).[2]

IRHB comment

On the reasonable assumption that the agreement reached refers to 1324 - Robert Hood of Alverthorpe (1), it is virtually certain that the Robin Hoods of Alverthorpe and Newton flourishing c. 1323-24 were one and the same man. The 4d paid are a fee for agreeing at court.
