Footnotes

  • 1. It seems to be implied in Matthew Paris, Chron. Maj. IV 425, writing of M. Roger de Weseham,that the preb. of Aylesbury had long been attached to the deanery, but M. William de Thornaco, theintervening dean between M. Roger de Rolleston and M. Roger de Weseham, was certainly preb. ofDunham (list 34). There is no concrete evidence to suggest that the preb. of Aylesbury was held bythe deans before M. Roger de Rolleston.
  • 2. See the preceding note.
  • 3. 1 Also 'Heddrington'; identified as Harrington, Northants, in Reg. Sutton IV index, but might be Harrington, Northumb. For his career, see also Biog. Ox. II 899-900. He is presum. not to be identified with Richard de Harington', who d. before 25 Sept. 1296 (Reg. Sutton V 185).
