Footnotes

  • 161. In 1 Fasti II 39, following YMF II 9, too little weight was put on the significance of this evidence of his murder and too much on the perambulation, as if he were alive. Chs. Vicars Choral pp. 97-8 also follows YMF.
  • 162. For a note on his career, see Biog. Ox. II 901.
  • 163. For his career, see DNB; also A. H. Thompson, 'Pluralism in the mediaeval Church', Reports and Papers ... of the Architectural Societies xxxiii (1915-16) 35-73, at pp. 57-9. Clay doubted if all the references to Walter de Langeton collected by Thompson were to the same person (YMF II 33). Clay also pointed out that Walter was not nephew of William de Langeton, dean of York (list 2), as stated in DNB (ibid. I 8, II 33). For some of his livings, see CPL I 550 = Reg. Nic. IV no. 6653, and CPL I 559 = Reg. Bon. VIII no. 415.
  • 164. For his career, see Biog. Ox. II 1099-1100; DNB. There seems to be no evidence of kinship to his predecessor.
