Diplomatic Analysis

Comment

Date: Note- Fortunately we are able to fix the issue of this charter to the earlier period of archbishop William's tenure of the see of York. John of Hexham tells us that Thurstan, provost of Beverley, died in the time of archbishop Henry, namely in or very shortly before 1152. Thurstan's attestation of this charter thus fixes the date during the period 1144-1146, and that of Everard de Ros supports this conclusion. The fact that the grantor did not use his own seal, but that apparently of his predecessor, adds weight to this conclusion.
