On a small sample from a 600 year old document, I don't regard a leeway of a dozen years fatal to my argument.

I also think that a few years above the established C14 framework is not a problem. Science is always moving and evolving. There are always new, complementary methods of investigation to further support or refute existing results. In VMS, for example, there are ways to study the age of ink ( proteins ) that are not used only because they are ( still ) too invasive. However, it is probably only a question of time until practicable procedures are developed here. One may be curious.
