It is however to be observed that as two Feasts of Saint George occurred within the time of those Accounts, viz. in 1350 and 1351, it is not certain for which of them this Robe was prepared; but, from the part of the Roll in which it is mentioned, the probability is that it was made for Saint George's Day in 1350.
