	Proof of age, 27 March, 12 Edward III (fragment).
MIDDLESEX.	John Martyn, knight, aged 40 and more, says that the said Edward was 22 years of age on 31 January last, for he was born at Feltham in the said county, and baptized in the church there on the said day, 8 Edward II; and this he knows because on the same day that the said Edward was baptized he saw king Edward II come to the said church at Feltham to lift the said Edward from the sacred font, and to place his name upon him; which fact the said John caused to be written in a certain calendar, and so the said Edward’s age is sufficiently certain to him. Geoffrey Pellam, aged 56 years and more, agrees, and knows it because, in the said church on the same day, after the baptism of the said Edward, at the request of certain of his friends he had pardon from king Edward II for a certain outlawry for the death of John le Ferour, for which he was indicted, and by the date of his charter the truth of the said Edward’s age is sufficiently evident to him. William le Hale, aged 47 years and more, agrees, and knows it because on the said day he was in the town of Feltham with the said John Martyn and several others, when king Edward II came to the church to lift the said Edward from the sacred font …. and he asked the said John to cause the said day of birth to be written in his calendar. John Cosyn, aged 50 years and more, agrees, and knows it because on the same day he was at Westminster before Sir William de Bereford, then a justice ….. common bench, in an inquisition between Gilbert Binorth and John Bile, and then in the night, when he had come to his house, he heard from [his] wife that John le Ha[uberger] had a son, to whom king Edward II had given (imposuerat) his name, and by the verdict and record of the inquisition ….. Robert de Erllesdon (?), aged 53 years and more, says the like, and knows it because, on the same day, he …. with the archdeacon of Middlesex …. John Bisshop, whose executor he was, and there …. lift the said Edward from the sacred font …. …., aged 45 years and more …. says that he [was] present …. from the sacred font ….
