Footnotes

  • 1. The preb. of Combe Duodecima was united to the provostship in 1344. The earlier provosts had claimed that the preb. of Wiveliscombe was attached to the provostship (Cal. MSS. D. & C. Wells 1 250).
  • 2. William Smythe can probably be identified with William Smythe bp. of Coventry & Lichfield 1493-1495, since he vac. the preb. 1493, but this identification cannot be proved.
