APPENDIX 2
The chapter list of May-June 1284
Liber Evidentiarum C no. 517 is a list of the members of the chapter of Salisbury, with their prebends. They are arranged in three groups - priests, deacons and subdeacons - according to the classification of their prebends: this classification was conventional, and does not correspond with the orders held by the individuals named. The list belongs to the documentation of the election of M. Walter Scammel as bishop on 26 June 1284, (fn. 1) for which licence was granted on 23 May (fn. 2) and letters of summons were sent out 28-30 May. (fn. 3) The last name on the list is added in another hand (cf. above list 42). The names of the three French abbots - of Le Bec-Hellouin, Montebourg and SaintWandrille - are wrong, the explanation probably being that they were copied from earlier, out-of-date records.
Since the document has never appeared in print, (fn. 4) its text is given below as it appears in the manuscript, with the numbers of the appropriate lists above added in round brackets.

Note: Every prebend was occupied at the time the list was drawn up, and yet none of the men named is known to have been archdcn. of Berks. If the archdcnry. of Berks. was vacant at this time, it would follow that the (unidentified) prebend of the previous archdcn., M. Stephen of Newbury, had been filled, cf. list 8. The next archdcn., William de Berges, succeeded M. John de Burton, precentor, who appears in the above list, in the prebend of Grantham Borealis, list 33.
