Source notes

The above text is that of a calendar entry of the record, not the actual record. From membrane 8d. of the MS source. The grant was probably enrolled at Iver, certainly no later than December 7.[2] The date of the original document, "Wednesday after the Annunciation, 21 Edward III", would be 1 February 1347. The Feast of the Annunciation, also known as Lady Day, was 25 January, which in 1347 was a Wednesday.[3] 25 January, incidentally, was also the day of the accession of Edward III.
