Footnotes

  • 1. Reg. Neville f. 29 records the coll. to Udy's successor as occurring 20 July 1460. As the following entry is for 1465, this is probably an error for 1463, as the dates of Udy's will would suggest. (Cf. also D. & C. Ex. 2835, where Udy occ. in a/c roll for Easter term 1463, in his annus post mortem.)
