Footnotes

  • 1. There was probably confusion in the papal chancery between the preb. of Taunton and the preb. of Yatton, since the name is given as 'Thanton', and there is no evidence that Purveour held the preb. of Taunton, but he had been coll. to Yatton in 1451. After Purveour's d. in 1469 there is no record of any coll. to Yatton, and no one occ. as preb. until 1488, and it therefore seems probable that Buk had been prov. to Yatton in 1469, not to Taunton.
  • 2. He was a suffragan bp. of the abp. of Nazareth.
