LIST 29 PREBENDARIES OF PRATUM MINUS
PREBEND
For the identification of Pratum Minus from Pratum Maius, see comment at the head of list 28 above. In the taxation of pope Nicholas IV of c. 1291 the preb. held by M. Richard, archdcn., which is identifiable with Pratum Minus, was endowed with an acre of meadow assessed at 6d (Taxatio p. 169a). This preb. is presumably to be identified with the 'Prebenda Magistri Eustacii' in the 1294 list of prebs. (Reg. Swinfield p. 305), where it is described as being endowed with 'dimidia acra prati iii d'. It is possible therefore that the earliest holder of the preb. was one of the two 12th-cent. cans. called M. Eustace. Valor III 11 assessed Pratum Minus at 39s ½d, most of which would have consisted of small commons.
PREBENDARIES
M. Eustace
Either M. Eustace I, who occ. as can. 1131 × 1137 and 1144, or M. Eustace II, who occ. as can. 1187 × mid 1190s, and mid 1190s × 1201 (for both, see list 36).
William de Albigni (fn. 1)
Can. of Hereford, preb. unspecified, by May/June 1280 (Reg. Cantilupe p. 279; list 36); had vac. his preb., to which Richard of Hertford the archdcn. was coll., and which therefore must have been this one, 8 Dec. 1288 (Reg. Swinfield p. 527), and since he was commem. 6 Dec. (app. 1 fo. 49v), he presumably d. 6 Dec. 1288.

Swinfield p. 527); occ. holding one acre of meadow worth 6d c. 1291 (Taxatio p. 169); coll. to preb. of Warham (list 33) 21 March 1293, resigning this preb., which was bestowed on William of Kingscote (Reg. Swinfield p. 529).
