  • 196. For his career, see DNB.
  • 197. He occ. as prior in a ch. dated 8 Sept. 1141 (Collectanea Topographica & Genealogica vi (1840) 42, from cart. Hexham, now Leeds, Yorks. Archaeol. Soc. MS 542, fos. 7v-8r); for the possibility that this date is wrong, see Heads of Relig. Houses p. 166 n. 1.
  • 198. For Ailred's death, see Heads of Relig. Houses p. 140.
  • 199. Temp. abp. Geoffrey and Simon of Apulia, chanc. of York (lists 1, 4).
  • 200. Presum., in the light of the evidence on Henry de Merdene, the date of his apparent last occ., 26 July 1271, is wrong (Northumberland and Durham Deeds p. 200 is drawn from a transcript by Roger Dodsworth which may be inaccurate).
