Footnotes

  • 1. This entry does not give the name of the preb., but Baldwin de Whitney, who can be traced as his successor, held Pratum Minus. See p. 43. n. 1.
  • 2. 'The prebend vacated by William de Kingscote'.
  • 3. This entry calls the preb. merely 'Pratum', but Baldwin de Whitney, who can be traced as his successor, held Pratum Minus. See p. 43. n. 1.
  • 4. This entry also calls it preb. 'Pratum'. However, on the same page, John Boter appears as another prebendary of 'Pratum'. As Boter's preb. has a greater taxable value that Whitney's, it is suggested that Whitney held Pratum Minus and Boter Pratum Majus.
  • 5. This entry calls it merely 'Pratum'. For identification, see notes 3 and 4.
  • 6. 'The prebend lately held by Walter de Almaly, deceased.'
  • 7. Explicitly 'Pratum Minus.'
  • 8. The Exeter reg. gives in error '1401'.
