PREBENDARIES
[Elias
In 1226 stated to have held preb. before Valentine (cf. below). Perhaps to be identified with Elias of Bristol, who occ. as can. 7 Jan. 1213/14 (Nova Const. p. 52) and 15 Aug. 1222 (Sar. Stats. p. 70, also pd. RSO II 18), but if so, either he or Valentine must have held a different preb. as they occ. together on latter occasion.]
[Valentine
First occ. as can. 19 Feb. 1222 (Sar. Chs. p. 122). (fn. 1) Occ. together with Elias of Bristol 15 Aug. 1222 (Sar. Stats. p. 70, also pd. RSO II 18), so if Elias is to be identified with Elias of Bristol, either he or Valentine must have held a different preb. at that time. Valentine occ. as successor of Elias in preb. Beminster, perhaps this preb., Oct. 1226 x Feb. 1227 (app. 1). Preb. called 'Beymenistr' Valentin' in 1220s (C. 462, pd. Sar. Chs. p. 207) and c. 1284 (C. 511).

M. William of Ewell (fn. 2)

May-June 1284 (app. 2), and as can., voting by proxy, 10 May 1288 (app. 3). Does not otherwise occ. as can. Also preb. of London (1 Fasti I 50) and of Bishop Auckland.
