This document has been dated by the abbacy of Henry de Bracquevilla at Seez (see Neustria Pia). If Stephen of the King's Scriptorium is to be identifed with Stephen of Fougeres (see Bishop's Scriptores Regis), plate xxxi (b), his dates have to be somewhat stretched forward to bring him into line with abbot Henry and Hugh Peverel.
