In 1365, was supposedly granted, by Edward III, a Royal licence to crenellate (Staynor Hall)

Although this document has been considered by some as a licence to crenellate the current opinion rejects this as a licence to crenellate.

No reference or details given. Is this a erroneous date and attribution for the licence of 1375 granted to nearby Selby Abbey?

Significant later source are;

• Le Patourel, H.E. Jean, 1973, The Moated Sites of Yorkshire (The Society for Medieval Archaeology Monograph Series 5) p128
