Scope and Content

Grant by Robert de Legh, knight, to James de Bagylegh, parson of Stockport. 'Datum apud Northerdene, die Sabbati in festo Sancti Hillarii, anno regni Regis Henrici quarti post conquestum Anglie tertio.' [The date is wrong. The third year of King Henry IV was 30 September 1401 - 29 September 1402. St Hilary's day is 13 January, and in 1402 13 January fell on a Friday. We must therefore correct 'die Sabbati in festo' to 'die Sabbati post festum'.]
