Description and Contents

The document is written in Latin in a Chancery hand, and signed Weremenistre, suggesting it was written by or under the supervision of William of Warminster, Keeper of the Hanaper. The text grants free warren to Roger de Pilkington and his heirs in perpetuity on their lands in the county of Lancaster, with a fine of £10 to be paid to the King for any infractions. It ends with a list of witnesses, including high ranking churchmen and nobles who were with the court at Norham.
