Footnotes

  • 1. There is no evidence that David was archdcn. 1334 as stated by Le Neve-Hardy.
  • 2. See n. 4 below.
  • 3. There is no evidence that Gervase Fitz-David held the archdcnry 1351 and 1377 as stated by Le Neve-Hardy. He is possibly the same person as Gervase ap Madog since ap and Fitz have the same meaning. Many Welsh names give a genealogy to the bearers and he could have been Gervase ap Madog ap Dafydd and have shortened the name to Gervase (Iorwerth) ap Madog in Wales and to Gervase Fitz-David in England.
  • 4. Iorwerth ap Madog is probably the same person as Gervase ap Madog, archdcn. 1367, 1391, as Gervase is the normal English equivalent for Iorwerth. Iorwerth Affeiriad is possibly the same person also, as 'affeiriad' is the Welsh for priest or parson.
  • 5. An unnamed person, possibly Thomas Runcorn, was collated to the archdcnry 27 July 1525 (Nat. Libr. Wales, B/BR/1 f. 10b). Rowland Thomas was said by Le Neve-Hardy to have been archdcn. of Bangor 1534. No evidence has been found for this and confusion has probably arisen between his name and that of Thomas Runcorn, who appears to have held the archdcnry until his d., 1556.
