1. que in original. The charnberlains' list contains errors and ambiguities which cannot be attributed to the scribe. It is remarkable as a record of a one-year incumbency of Peter de Rivaux as king's chamberlain, although it does not indicate that a chamberlain's roll bearing his name was produced during the eyre.
2. The blank space suggests an awareness of a defect. According to 84 and 89 John of Colemere succeeded Simon fitz Mary, who, for some time, combined the offices of chamberlain and sheriff.
3. The New Pleas of the crown first mention John de Gisors for 20 Henry III (106), but do not refer to Ralph Eswy. For the same year Liber Ordinationum mentions three chamberlains (112 n. 2), but also omits Ralph Eswy.
