n342_001^: 1420 in the Chancery version, but 1419 in the Exchequer copy, where it appears to have been altered from another year. The date of death is given in both versions as 'Saturday after Michaelmas last' - if he died in Oct. 1418 (as confirmed by the apportionment calculation, and by 343), then the inquisition must have been held in March 1419, not 1420.
