[403] Hidage, carucage, and aid are mentioned on 7th June, 1217, as having been assessed “de precepto nostro,” _Close Rolls_, vol. i. p. 310; and the two former seem to have been in process of collection in some of the Midland shires in the middle of April of that year; _ib._ pp. 306, 306 b, _Pat.

Dr. Shirley made the year 1217, but he must have overlooked the closing words of the letter--“De praemissis autem novi sigilli nostri sanctae paternitati vestrae reverentiam merito duximus exhibendam”--which clearly shew that it is 1218.
