Resenbaldus

or

to
be

one
man
,
)
was
Chancellor
to
Edward
the
Confessor
,

witnesse
amongst

Deedes

Suring
or
Wilton
,
and
translated
his
See
from
Wilton
to
Shirborne
,
and
from
thence
to
Sarum
;
He
is
that
Hirmanus
,
which
(
I
suppose
)
was
Chancellor
to
William
the
Conqueror
,
and
called
Hirmanus
,
and
that
wrote

(
as
hath
Robertus
Montensis

succeeded
Arfastus

by
the
gift
of
William

,
succeeded
in

translated

Anno

1100

and
was
consecrated

1107
,
though
it
seemeth
that
Robert
Bluet
came
in
place
of
this
William
Gifford
,
removed
about
the
fourth
yeere
of
the
same
Rufus
,
from
his
Office
of
Chancellorship
,
(
as
I
suppose
will
bee
well
prooved
,
)
but
after
placed
againe

Of
the

of

is
much
contrariety
;

severall

he
was
made

in
Anno

1092.
but
as
it
appeareth
by
some
authority
,
that
I
have
seene
he
did
execute
that
Office
,
being
Bishop
of
Lincolne
,
he
dyed
at
Woodstocke
,
in
Anno

But
after
the
death
of
this
King
Edward
,
the
said
William
Burstall
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
(
belike
not
supposing
this
to
bee
a
sufficient
grant
)
procured
this
house
by
act
of
Parliament
in
the
first
yeare
of
King
Richard
the
second
,
to
be
more
strongly
established
to
the
use
of
the
Master
of
the
Rolles
for
the
time
.
After
which
John
de
Waltham
,
Master
of
the
Rolles
,
after
Bishop
of
Salisbury
,
and
Treasurer
of

,
procured
King

the

,
by
his
Letters
Patents
to
confirme
the
said
house
to
the

William

his

Masters
of
the

.
And
whereas
by
the
Patent
of
Edward
the
third
,
the
Master
of
the
Rolles
was
appointed
and
installed
in
that
house
by
the
Chancellor
,
it
is
to
be
noted
,
that
the
same
manner
of
induction
and
instalment
continued
as
long
as
the
Master
of
the
Rolles
was
of
the
Clergy
,
as
I
have
seene
set
downe
by
others
,
and
as
the
Presidents
of
those
instalments
,
and
the
Writts
themselves
extant
of

doe
well
prove

here
I
thinke
it

was
eighteene
yeares

time
they
place
this
Wanfleet
to
be
Chancellor

which
error
I
suppose
they
have
committed
,
in
that
they
finding
him
Chancellor
,
at
the
time
of
the
building
of
his
Colledge
in
the
said
25
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
sixt
,
have
taken
him
to
be
Chancellor
of

,
when
he
was
then
but
Chancellor
of
Oxford
,
although
indeed
afterward
he
was
Chancellor

after
shall
appeare

,
in

he
remained
much
about
2
yeares
in
whose
time
(
as
saith
Matthew
Parker
)
about
Anno
dom.
1461
,
was
the
Art
of
Printing
invented
at
the
Citty

About

for
the
exact

thereof
,
many
writers
,
although
their
count
about
one

doe
disagree
:
yet
at
the
inventing
of
that
worthy
thing
,
were
these
verses
composed
,
in
commendation
of
the
same
most
excellent
Art
.

of
the
unfortunate
King
Henry

as
have
the
Records

of

By
which
appeareth
the
error
of
those
,
as
I
have
before
noted
,
that
mistaking
the
25.
of

a
part

Solemnity

John
Alcot
Bishop
of
Rochester
,
was
made
Chancellor
during
the
absence
of
King
Edward
.
Thomas
Rotheram
,
being
before
Lord
Keeper
of
the
Privy
Seale
,
was
after
his
returne
out
of
France
,
the
second
time
made
Lord
Chancellor
,
about
the
time
,
in
which
the
said
King
had
gotten
Berwicke
from
the
Scots
,
about
Anno
20
Edward
4
,
For
the
free
gaining
of
the
Towne
was
not
so
much
before
his
death
.
In
which
Office
this
Rotheram
,
continued
all
the
life
of
King
Edward
the
4
,
and
in
the
time
of
the
Reigne
of
the
guiltlesse
murthered
young
Prince
King
Edward
the
5
,
untill
it
was
ascribed
to
him
for
over
much
lightnesse
,
that
he
had
delivered
in
the
beginning
of
the
rebellious
government
of
the
protectorship
of
the
bloody
and
unnaturall
Richard
,
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
the
Seale
to
the
Queene
,
to
whom
it
did
not
appertaine
,
and
from
whom
he
received
it
not
.
Hee
founded
a
Colledge
at
Rotheram
,
dedicated
it
to
the
name
of
Iesus
,
and
endowed
it
with
great
possessions
,
and
ornaments
,
and
annexed
thereto
the
Churches
of
Langhton
and
Almanbury
.
John
Russell
Bishop
of
Lincolne
,
a
grave
and
learned
man
,
had
the
Seale
delivered
to
him
by
the
saide
Protectour
of
England
,
during
the
time
of
the
short
Raigne
of
the
yong
King
Edward
,
when
the
same
Seale
was
taken
from
Rotheram
,
and
so
this
Russell
was
made
Chancellor
in
the
moneth
of
June
in
Anno
dom.
1483
,
being
the
first
yeare
of
King
Richard
the
third
.
This
Russell
is
buryed
in

Church
of
Lincolne
,
in
a
Chapell
cast
out
of
the
upper
wall
of
the
South
part
of
the
Church
.
Thomas
Barow
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
was
made
Keeper
of
the
great
Seale
,
which
I
suppose
,
was
in
the
third
and
last
yeare
of
the
said
King
Richard
the
third
,
for
in
that
yeare
he
was
Master
of
the
Rolles
▪
Thomas
Rotheram
,
made
againe
Lord
Chancellor
in
the
first
entrance
of
King
Henry
the
seaventh
,
into
the
governement
,
but
very
shortly
after
he
was
displaced
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
placed
in
that
roome
,
he
was
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
19
yeares
and
ten
moneths
,
he
was
very
beneficiall
to
all
his
kindred
,
and
advanced
some
with
marriages
,
some
with
possessions
,
and
some
with
spirituall
livings
.
He
dyed
the
29
day
of
December
,
in
Anno
dom.
1500
,
being
the
16
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
eight
,
at
Cawood
in
Yorkeshire
,
the
morrow
after
the
Ascension
,
being
of
the
age
of
threescore
and
sixteene
yeares
,
or
more
.
He
was
buried
in
Yorke
Minster
,
on
the
North
side
,
in
our
Lady
Chapell
,
in
a
tombe
of
Marble
,
which
hee
caused
to
be
made
whilest
he
was
living
.
John
Alcot
,
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
made
in
Anno
dom.
1476
,
was
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
in
Anno
1
Henry
7
,
being
in
Anno
dom.
1485
shortly
after
the
entrance
of
the
said
Henry
into
the
governement
of
England
,
for
though
Rotheram
were
Chancellor
,
when
he
got
the
victory
,
for
that
he
had
beene
so
before
,
and
for
that
the
King
was
neither
provided
,
nor
minded
sodainely
to
have
a
man
,
not
meet
for
that
place
to
execute
the
same
,
yet
this
Bishop
Rotheram
kept
not
that
roome
many
months
,
but
that
Bishop
Alcot
came
in
place
,
because
the
King
found
Bishop
Alcot
a
meeter
person
to
execute
the
same
office
,
answerable
to
the
disposition
of
the
Kings
humour
.
All
which
notwithstanding
,
whether
for
malice
of
others
,
or
for
his
owne
deserts
,
or
both
,
or
for
the
more
speciall
trust
,
that
the
King
put
in
Doctour
Moorton
,
Bishop
of
Elie
,
who
had
beene
the
meanes
to
bring
him
to
the
Crowne
,
this
Bishop
Alcot
,
fell
shortly
in
the
Kings
disgrace
,
was
displaced
of
his
Office
,
and
Doctour
Moorton
came
in
his
roome
.
So
that
in
this
first
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
seaventh
,
there
seemed
to
be
three
Chancellors
in
succession
,
one
after
another
,
All
which
before
Moorton
,
in
this
first
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
seaventh
,
may
perhaps
more
properly
be
termed
,
Keepers
of
the
great
Seale
,
then
Chancellors
.
Iohn
Moorton
Doctor
of

,
in

yeare
of

the
seventh
,
being
in

1485
,
after
which
he
was
advanced
to
the
Arch-bishopricke
of
Canterbury
,
he
dyed
in

1499

made
Chancellor

in
the
time
of

in

office
he
continued
,
until
about
the
latter
end
of
the
seaventh
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
Eight
.
At
what
time
surrendring

who
possessing
many
other
Abbies

was
advanced
to
the
government
of

about

,
yeare
of

being
in

1516
,
to
hold
the
same
during
his
life
,
(
as
I
gather
)
in
which
office
yet
he
continued
not
above
thirteene
yeares
,
untill
Anno
21
of
King
Henry
the
8

time
of
his
Chancellorship
in
Anno
19
of
King
Henry
the

,
being
Anno

1527.
he
went
into
France
,
representing
the
King
of
Englands
Person
,
to
set
order
for
the
delivery
of
Pope
Clement
the
seaventh
,
and
Francis
the
French
King
,
at
what
time
he
carried
the
great
Seale
over
the
Seas
,
to
Calis
,
Which
Seale
hee
left
with
Doctor
Taylor
,
Master
of
the
Rolles
,
to
keepe
the
same
at
Calis
untill
the
Cardinalls
returne
out
of
the
French
Dominions
.
He
died
in
Leicester
Abbey
,
not
without
suspicion
of
poison
,
as
was
thought
,
which
he
had
prepared
for
himselfe
,
and
given
to
his
Apothecary
to
deliver
when
hee
called
for
it
,
the
two
and
twentieth

Henry

in

1530.
Thomas
More
Knight

1529

being

,
In
which
office
this
rare
witted
Knight
(
to
use
Erasmus

epitheton
)
and
learned
Chancellor
continued
not
ful
three
yeares
,
but
in
Anno
24
of
the

King
,
with
much
labour
and
earnest
suit
,
he
left
his
office
.
Touching
which
it
will
not
be
impertinent
to
set
downe
the
words
of
Matthew
Parker
,
in
the
lives
of
the
Bishops
of
Canterbury
,
in
the
life
of
Thomas

,
writing
after
this
manner

is

of

,
Nephew

,
and

,

Calends
of

,
being
the

Thirtieth
yeere
of
the
raigne
of
Henry
the

,
at
whose
going
downe
to
be
installed
in
the
said
Bishopricke
,
hee
was
received
with
such
joy
,
that
all
the
whole
street
of
Ely
,
through
which
hee
should
passe
,
was
hanged
with
curtaines
and
carpets
,
with
seates
set
on
each
side
,
and
the
Monkes
Cannons
,
and
Clerkes
meeting
him
with
procession
with
divers
other
Priests
standing
round
about
them
.
After
his
installation
he
returned
to
the
dispatche
of
the

of
the
Kingdome
,
committing
the
charge
of
his
Bishoppricke
to
one
Ralph
,
sometime
a
Moonke
of
Glastenbury
,
and
now
become
an
Apostata
.
Great
contention
was
betweene
this
man
and
King
Stephen
.
Hee
bought
the
Treasurership
for
the
Summe
of
Foure
Hundred
Markes
of
Henry
the
second
for
his
sonne
Richard
,
filius
Nigelli
,
or
Fitz
Neale
,
otherwise
called
Richard
of
Elie.
He
governed
the
Bishoppricke
Sixe
and
Thirty
yeeres
,
as
some
say
,
and
builded
Saint
Iohns
Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
Trivet
affirmeth
that
he
died
in
the
yeere
of
Christ
One
Thousand
One
Hundred
Sixty
and
Nine
,
and
the
Fifteenth
of
King
Henry
the
second
,
after
that
he
had
governed
Sixe
and
Thirty
yeares
,
he
was
honorably
buried
in
the
Church
of
Saint
Ethelred
of
Elie
,
before
the
Altar
dedicated
to
the
Holy
Crosse
.
Richard
of
Elie
,
or
Fitz
Neale
sonne
of
the
said
Nigellus
Bishop
of
Elie
,
was
made
Treasurer
to
King
Henry
the
second
,
by
the
purchase
of
his
father
Nigellus
when
the
King
went
to
the
warres
of
Tolous
.
Of
whom
the
Historie
of
Elie
writeth
:
That
after
the
buriall
of
Nigellus
his
Father
,
this
Richard
being
also
an
enemy
of
the
Church
of
Elie
,
as
his
father
had
beene
before
,
made
hast
to
passe
over
the
Seas
to
King
Henry
the
second
,
fearing
that
some
evill
would
be
prepared
against
him
,
if
the
Church
should
have
sent
any
other
thither
before
him
.
At
whose
comming
to
the
King
,
he
accused
the
Monkes
of
many
things
,
and
did
therewith
so
edge
the
King
against
them
,
that
the
King
sending
into
England
,
charged
by
Wunndrus
,
one
of
his
Chaplens
,
that
the
Prior
of
Elie
should
bee
deposed
,
and
the
Moonkes
with
all
their
goods
to
be
proscribed
&
banished
.
This
man
being
Treasurer
to
King
Henry
the
second
,
the
Treasure
of
the
said
Henry
the

at

came

is

untruely

,
he
was

Treasurer

I

Of

Concerning
whom
I
collected
this
note
out
of
the
Register
of
Westminster
,
that
Phillip
Coleville
Knight
the
sonne
of
William
Coleville
,
the
sonne
of
Agnes
Foliot
gave
to
Richard
Abbat
of
Westminster
,
all
his
part
of
the
inheritance
which
was
Robert
Foliots
,
brother
to
the
said
Agnes
,
in
London
,
Mortan
,
and
Chalneie
,
witnesses
Raph
Bishop
of
Chichester
,
Chanceller
,
and
Hugh
Pateshall
Treasurer
in
the
19.
of
the
reigne
of
Henry
the
third
,
which
Pateshall
Matthew
Westminster
in
the
yeare
of
grace
1234.
calleth
Summum
thesaurarium
Galfridus
Templarius
,
whom
some
will
have
Treasurer
,
but
this
man
is
more
spoken
of
amongst
the
Chancellors
.
William
Haverhull
,
a
Cannon
of
Pauls
Church
in
London
was
made
Treasurer
to
King
Henry
the
third
,
in
An.
Dom.
1240.
being
the
24.
yeare
of
the
raigne
of
the
said
King
Henry
,
in
which
place
he
continued
in
the
28.
yeare
of
the
raigne
of
King
Henry
the
third
,
being
in
An.
Do.
1244
he
dyed
at
London
in
An.
1252.
being
the
36.
yeare
of
the
raigne
of
King
Henry
the
third
,
as
saith
the
addition
to
Matthew
Paris
,
fol.
1128.
After
which
the
said
Author
,
fol.
1226.
laied
his
death
in
the
yeare
1256.
being
the
39.
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
third
,
such
error
is
crept
into
Histories
by
the
negligence
of
the
transcriber
,
but
I
suppose
the
first
note
of
his
death
to
bee
the
truer
,
because
the
same
is
confirmed
by
Matthew
West
.
speaking
in
the
said
yeare
1252.
of
the
death
of
this
man
,
for
whose
Epitaph
,
these
following
verses
were
made
.

I
have
also
read
a
note
of
one
William
Haverhull
,
(
which
might
be
this
man
)
which
saith
that
William
Haverhull
,
the
sonne
of
Brithmarus
de
Haverhull
,
gave
houses
in
Cheapeside
to
the
Abby
of
Westminster
,
and
that
one
Thomas
de
Haverhull
,
was
the
sonne
and
heire
of
William
Haverhull
.
Richard
de
Barking
,
Abbat
of
Westminster
,
as
witnesseth
the
lives
of
the
Abbats
,
was
one
speciall
Counceller
to
Henry
the
third
,
Chiefe
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
Treasurer
of
England
who
I
suppose
did
follow
William
Haverhull
,
for
his
death
which
happened
on
the
23.
day
of
November
in
the
30.
yeare
of
King
Henry
the
third
,
in
An.
Dom.
1246.
after
that
he
had
beene
Abbat
24.
yeares
,
must
needes
prove
him
to
be
Treasurer
before
Phillip
Lovell
,
yea
and
peradventure
,
(
which
is
most
likely
)
before
Hugh
Pateshall
,
yet
Matthew
Paris
speaking
of
the
death
of
Haverhulla
,
wil
needs
have
Phillip
Lovel
to
succeed
William
Haverhul
,
as
after
shall
appeare
.
This
Richard
de
Barking
was
buried
in
Westminster
Church
,
before
the
middle
of
the
Altar
,
in
our
Ladies
Chappell
in
a
tombe
of
Marble
,
which
after
in
the
time
of
William
Colechester
Abbat
of
that
place
,
was
pulled
downe
by
Fryer

,
a

laid

Philip
Luvell
or

was
in
this
order
advanced
to
the
office
of
Treasurer
,
as
appeareth
by
the
words
of
Matthew

upon
the

not
rightly

by

as
some
have
to

Twenty

contention
between

Kelslye

There
was
one
Robert
Sadington
living
about
this
time
,
of
whom
is
more
mention
in
the
Chancellors
of
England
,
but
as
yet
I
well
know
not
whether
they
were
both
one
man
or
noe
,
sith
Authors
may
misplace
Robert
for
Richard
,
as
they
have
often
done
.
Robert
Northborow
,
being
at
that
time
(
as
I
judge
)
Bishop
of
Coventry
,
was
Treasurer
of
England
in
the
14.
yeare
of
Edward
the
third
,
and
in
An.
Dom.
1340.
in
which
yeare
hee
was
removed
,
whom
with
the
Chancellor
the
King
ment
afterward
(
as
after
shall
appeare
)
to
have
sent
into
Flanders
as
Pledges
for
money
that
the
King
ought
there
.
After
whom
as
I
suppose
,
that
Sadington
came
in
place
A
Bishop
of

was
Lord
Treasure

being

fifteenth
yeare
of
King
Edward
the
third
,
in
which
yeare
also
hee
was
made
Chanceller
,
and
so
continued
both
offices
a
while
untill
the
sixteenth
yeare
of
Edward
the
third
,
as
I
gather
by
all
circumstances
of
times
,
records
,
and
histories
,
who
in
the
seventeenth
yeare
of
Edward
the
third
,
being

Dom.
1343.
(
as
appeareth
by
the
bookes
of
the
Law
)
being
Chancellor
,
delivered
a
record
with
his
hands
into
the
Court
of

Kings
Bench
;
Of
this
man
more
is

Roger

and
was
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
in
the
44.
and
45.
yeares
of
Edward
the
third
,
which
45.
beeing
in
An.
Dom.
1371.
he
was
in
a
Parliament
at
the
Petition
of
the
Lords
removed
,
at
which
time
also
there
passed
a
Law
,
that
the
Chancellor
Treasurer
and
Clarke
of
the
Privy
seale
should
no
more
be
spiritual
men
,
but
that
secular
men
should
have
those
offices
.
Sir
Richard
Scroope
,
Lord
of
Bolton
and
Chancellor
of
England
,
was
Treasurer
of
England
in
the
46.
yeare
of
Edward
the
third
,
and
then
gave
place
to
Sir
Robert
Aston
Knight
.
This
Richard
made
out
of
the
ground
the
Castle
of
Bolton
consisting
of
foure
great
strong
towers
,
&
of
other
stately
lodgings
,
which
Castell
was
erecting
18.
yeares
,
the
charges
whereof
came
yearely
unto
a
Thousand
Marks
,
which
was
18.
thousand
Markes
,
or
12000.
pound
;
which
Castle
hee
finished
before
Richard
the
second
died
.
He
bought
the
heire
general
of
S.
Quintine
that
was
owner
of
Horneby
Castle
in
Richmondshire
,
which
heire
hee
was
content
one
Conyers
a
servant
of
his
should
marry
,
and
have
the
preferment
of
that
ward
,
&
so
Horneby
Castle
came
to
the
Coniers
,
of
which
the
first
Lord
was
William
Coniers
,
grandfather
to
him
that
died
in
the
time
of
Queene
Mary
without
heire
male
,
whereby
his
inheritance
came
to
his
three
daughters
,
which
William
the
first
Lord
Coniers
of
that
name
did
much
cost
upon
Horneby
Castle
being
before
but
a
meane
thing
.
I
have
read
of
this
Lord
Scroope
that
hee
had
a
sonne
called
William
,
whereof
wee
will
speake
more
hereafter
,
that
was
Earle
of
Wiltsshire
,
who
being
beheaded
in
his
fathers
life
,
left
no
issue
behind
him
.
After
which
the
father
surviving
was
made
Treasurer
to
the
King
,
and
died
in
honour
;
althoug
he
was
not
restored
to
his
dignity
of
Chancellership
,
but
at
what
time
he
should
be
the
second
time
Treasurer
(
after
the
death
of
his
sonne
William
)
in
the
time
of
Henry
the
fourth
.
I
cannot
as
yet
certainely
learne
,
But
it
may
bee
that
hee
was
againe
Treasurer
in
the
ninth
yeare
of
Henry
the
fourth
,
for
that
I
finde
not
by
any
former
search
who
then
possessed
that
place
.
It
seemeth
that
he
had
two
wives
,
the
one
the
daughter
of
the
Lord
Spenser
,
the
other
the
daughter
of
Michaell
de
la
Poole
Earle
of
Suffolke
called
Blanch.
Hee
had
three
sonnes
,
for
whom
hee
bought
of
the
King
the
three
daughters
and
heires
of
Robert
Lord
Tiptoft
,
whereof
the
eldest
daughter
Margaret
was
married
to
Roger
his
second
sonne
,
the
second
daughter
was
married
to
William
his
eldest
sonne
,
the
third
daughter
called
Millescent
was
married
to
Stephen
the
third
sonne
of
the
said
Richard
.
Sir
Robert
Ashton
Knight
,
Constable
of
Dover
Castle
,
and
Lord
warden
of
the
Cinque
Ports
,
was
Lord
Treasurer
in
the
50.
and

yeare
of

the

terme
,
which
was
the
last
Michaelmas
tearme
wherein
the
King
raigned

being

of
which
name
there
was
also
one
that
was

towards
the

I
compute
it
,
from

place
he
was
shortly
removed

in
which
office
he
continued
during

for
shortly
after
hee
came
into

which
I
suppose
he
held
in
Easter

,
and
some
monethes
after
,
in
the
said
yeare
of
Richard
the

in

as
saith
the
booke
of
Elie
,
1388.
being
in
the
13
yeare
of
Richard
the
second
,
which
both
may
bee
true
,
because
the
one
may
have
relation
to
the
yeare
of
his
translation
,
and
the
other
to
the
yeare
of
his
inthronization

both
which
many

all
Michaelmas

the

,
and
the
21.
day
of

following

after
which
he
was
againe
removed
,
and
then
hee
with
twelve
more
were
appointed
by
commission
to
the
governement
of
the
whole
Realme
under

of
whom
thus
writeth
on

M.
S.
Is

Which
Bishop
(
as
I
suppose
)
was
removed
to
Saint
Davids
,
after
that
hee
had
beene
thirteene
yeares
Bishop
of
Hereford
.
Thomas
Brantington
,
Bishop
of
Excester
.
I
have
read
that
the
Bishop
of
Excester
was
made
Treasurer
in
the
twelfth
yeare
of
Richard
the
second
,
upon
the
removing
of
Iohn
Gilbert
,
which
Bishop
of
Excester
could
not
be
Edmond
Gifford
,
as
some
falsly
name
him
,
for
there
is
no
such
man
,
as
I
can
find
in
the
catalogue
of
all
the
Bishops
of
Excester
,
neither
was
it
Edmund
Stafford
for
hee
was
not
made
Bishop
of
Excester
untill
the
20.
of
Iune
1395.
being
the
day
before
King
Richard
began
the
twenty
one
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
which
is
eight
yeares
after
the
time
whereof
we
now
intreate
.
Wherefore
it
must
needs
bee
Thomas
Brantington
,
for
hee
being
consecrated
Bishop
of
Excester
the
tenth
day
of
March
in
An.
Dom.
1370.

yeares
,
till
An.
Dom.
1395.
in
which
came
Edmund
Stafford
Keeper
of
the
Privie
Seale
,
it
must
be
that
the
Bishop
of
Excester
being
Treasurer
in
the
twelfth
yeare
of
Richard
the
second
falling
in
An.
Dom.
1388.
it
was
this
man
Brantington
,
and
that
he
was
the
fourth
time
made
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
about
the
18.
yeare
after
that
he
was
made

died
in

1395.

to
the

Hee
married
Margaret
daughter
of
Fitzallen
,
Lord
Matravers
,
hee
had
issue
Thomas
Lord
Rosse
slaine
in
France
in
An.
Dom.
1421.
about
the
ninth
yeare
of
Henry
the
sixt
,
and
many
other
Children
.
Thomas
Lord
Furnivall
kept
the
place
and
office
of
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
in
the
6
,
7.
and
some
part
of
the
8.
yeare
of
Henry
the
fourth
,
as
in
Michaelmas
tearme
of
the
said
8.
yeare
falling
in
An.
Dom.
1406.
after
which
this
Lord
Furnivall
,
who
had
the
custodie
of
the
Castle
and
honor
of
Wigmore
being
in
the
Kings
hands
by
reason
of
the
wardship
and
minority
of
Edmond
Mortimer
Earle
of
March
,
was
(
as
it
seemeth
)
removed
from
the
Treasurership
,
in
whose
roome
succeeded
the
Bishop
of
London
.
To
these
Lord
Furnivalls
did
Furnivalls
Inne
in
Holborne
sometime
appertaine
as
their
mansion
house
,
being
now
an
Inne
of
Chancery
for
young
Students
of
the

,
and
Atturneis
,
and
belonging
to
Lincolnes
Inne
in

.
Nicholas
Bubwith
,
made
Bishop
of
London
in
An.
Dom.
1406.
being
in
the
eight
yeare
of
Henry
the
fourth
,
must
bee
that
Bishop
of
London
(
as
farre
as
I
can
yet
conceive
)
who
was
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
in
Michaelmas
tearme
in
the
8.
yeare
,
the
office
of
the
Treasurer
remained
in
the
Kings
hands
,
and
the
Accompts
of
the
said
terme
goe
under
the
same
title
of
being
in
the
Kings
hands
.
Sir
Richard
Scroope
Lord
of
Bolton
(
wherof
is
so
much
spoken
before
)
was
as
I
suppose
the
second
time
made
Treasurer
of
England
in
the
ninth
yeare
of
Henry
the
fourth
;
whereunto
I
am
induced
by
this
reason
.
That
first
the
King
would
not
keepe
that
office
so
long
in
his
hands
as
almost
amounted
to
Two
yeares
,
but
that
he
would
bestow
the
same
upon
some
other
:
Secondly
,
for
that
I
reade
that
this
Richard
Scroope
father
to
William
Scroope
Earle
of
Wiltshire
,
beheaded
by
this
Henry
the
fourth
,
before
he
came
to
the
Crowne
at
Bristow
,
in
the
last
yeare
of
Richard
the
second
,
and
in
the
first
of
this
Kings
raigne
,
was
after
the
death
of
the
said
William
made
Treasurer
of
England
and
so
died
in
honour
.
Thirdly
for
that
I
cannot
see
how
he
might
be
Treasurer
in
any
yeare
since
the
death
of
the
said
William
untill
the
ninth
yeare
of
Henry
the
fourth
.
And
lastly
,
for
that
I
cannot
in
any
record
or
other
author
find
any
other
man
mentioned
to
supply
that
place
in
this
yeare
,
for
which
causes
I
have
attempted
to
bestow
him
here
,
and
that
rightly
for
any
thing
that
I
can
yet
learne
.

This
man
secretly
in
heart
forsaking
the
part
of
King
Henry
the

,
for
injuries
received
at
his
hands
ayded
the
said
Edward

attained
the

in

the

repaired

But
when
the

looked
to
have
kept
the

in

forgetting
that
hee
was
out

for

well

stand
with
the
former
,
being
Treasurer

The

in

that

declaring
in

,
and
then
in

of

His

be
these
.
In

Out
of
which
words
of
Whethamsted
,
may
other
things
bee
gathered
,
besides
the
doings
of
the
Lord
Grey
,
as
that
the
Kings
of
England
,
and
specially
Henry
the
second
,
have
been
great
benefactors
and
founders
of
the
Charterhouse
Monkes
,
with
many
moe
matters
contained
in
the
same
,
which
I
referre
to
the
wise
&
learned
reader
,
which
made
me
the
willinger
to
set
down
his
words
so
largely
;
Moreover
the
same
Whethamsted
,
continuing
the
Historie
of
Henry
the
sixt
,
writeth
of
the
battle
of
Northampton
,
wherein
was
this
Lord
Gray
,
in
this
sort
.
In

even
as
the
Lord

,
and
Henry
Earle
of
Richmond
,
after
King
,
by
the
name
of
