Firm date

Dating Notes
The expression _pie recordationis_ suggests that Earl David of Hastings was already dead. His last known attestation is in August 1244, a treaty between Alexander II and Henry III at Newcastle (_CDS_ I, no. 1654). This charter is confirmed by King Alexander, 3 July 1247 (_C.A. Chrs._, no. 53; _Handlist_, no. 284).
