Footnotes

  • 1. Le Neve-Hardy's John Dee, said to occ. as chancellor 8 Dec. 1594, is probably to be identified with William Day.
  • 2. Sir Edward Stanhope LL.D., given by Le Neve-Hardy as chancellor at his death, 16 March 1608, was actually the bishop's chancellor (Dugdale, Hist. Paul. p. 41).
  • 3. Possibly error for May, as William Wilson did not die as prebendary until 15 May.
