Excerpt from State Trials Of The Reign Of Edward The First, 1289-1293: Edited For The Royal Historical Society
Another crucial problem is chronology. The dating of mem branes is unsystematic. In 77 membranes in Roll A, written front and back, only 72 entries of date are made and in B, 30 entries occur on the 46 membranes. Often too, merely the period of the year, not the year concerned, is given.
It may be useful to insert here lists of the dated membranes in the order in which they occur in the rolls.
