 The King may have visited Cranborne on other dates, but, so 

 far as our present knowledge goes, there is only evidence of his 

 having done so on those days, the evidence being mainly his 

 subscription to various documents in the form of " Teste me ip 

 ap Craneburn," together with the internal evidence contained 

 in documents, which are still preserved amongst the records, 

 muniments, and archives of the nation.
