Footnotes

  • 1. This meant that on becoming chancellor, a man had to res. any preb. of York which he held.
  • 2. Obviously a clerical error for Sept., as the abp's mand. to install is dated 1 Oct. (Chapter File 1571).
  • 3. Francis Hall B.D. petitioned ineffectively for preb. of Laughton ? June 1660 (Cal. S.P. Dom. 1660- 1661 p. 87). Thomas Clutterbuck M.A. was coll. 30 Oct. 1660 to preb. of Laughton (Inst. AB 6 p. 305); abp's mand. to install 29 (sic) Oct. (Chapter File 1660). This coll. was presumably ineffective also, since the preb. of Laughton with the chancellorship had already been gr. by the king to Christopher Stone.
  • 4. Possibly d. 11 Nov. (Autobiographies of Thomas Comber 1 60).
