Notes: 1. I read this as Martin’s herd wondered onto the kings land, was grazing, and had to be chased off.
2. From Ashover, Derbyshire to Bradley, Lancashire is 56.64 miles. Over an entire lifetime, that’s probably reasonable. Besides it was most likely just land he owned, rather than his residence at 68.
