page 43 note d See Le Neve. The Pope, by a bull dated nearly a month anterior to Archbishop Winchelsey's death, had reserved to himself the next presentation to the see of Canterbury. Accordingly he translated Walter Reynolds, Bishop of Worcester, to the archiepiscopal see, not accepting Thomas Cobham. Cobham, however, became Bishop of Worcester. See also under the date 1317 in this Chronicle.

page 45 note a “In the old cross certain relics were found, that is to say, a corporal with which they sing mass, white and entire, without any defect; and in this corporal was found a part of the wood of the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, wrought in the form of a cross; a stone of the sepulchre of Our Lord; and another stone from the place where God stood when He ascended into heaven; and another stone from Mount Calvary, where the cross of Our Lord was erected. There was also found a purse, and in this purse apiece of red sendal, in which were wrapped some bones of the Eleven Thousand Virgins, and other relics the names of which were unknown. These relics Master Robert de Clothale [Chancellor of the Cathedral] shewed to the people during his preaching on the Sunday before the Feast of S. Botolph [17 June]; and after the same the relics were replaced in the cross, and many other new ones as well, on the day of S. Francis [16 July].”— French Chronicle of London, H. T.

page 45 note c The divines of the Reformation period were not slow to remember this day's proceedings. “We needed not to fear (if your opinion were true) the burning any more of Paul's. Make a cross on the steeple, and so it shall be safe. But within these few years it had a cross, and reliques in the bowl to boot: yet they prevailed not; yea, the cross itself was fired first.”—Calfhill's Answer to Martiall, 180. (Parker Society.)

page 51 note c In Oliver's Lives of the Bishops of Exeter, 54–64Google Scholar, will be found full details of the murder of Walter de Stapeldon, who was Treasurer to Edward II., and of the political causes which led to it. The King had left the Bishop guardian of the City: and the Bishop, hearing of the tumults which had arisen in the City, had demantlod of the mayor the keys of the gates. The mayor and the people were greatly incensed at the demand. See also the French Chronicle of London, published by the Camden Society, p. 52Google Scholar; and other references loco citato. Sir Richard Stapledon, brother of the Bishop, was beheaded at the same time.
page 52 note a The people of S. Clement's, according to the French Chronicle (H. T. Riley), p. 263Google Scholar, put the corpse “out of the building: whereupon certain women and persons in the most abject poverty took the body, which would have been quite naked, had not one woman given a piece of old cloth to cover the middle; and buried it in a place apart without making a grave and his esquire near him all naked, and without any office of priest or clerk; and this spot is called the Lawless Church.” [Le Laweles Chirche.]

page 53 note a He was Prebendary of Holywell in St. Paul's Cathedral, and had been elected Bishop of Norwich, but had not been consecrated. “Robert de Baldock, chancellor, to whom most of the miseries of the kingdom were imputed, having been brought from Hereford to London, and imprisoned in the Bishop of Hereford's house, near Old Fish Street Hill, was taken thence by the mob and dragged to Newgate, as a place of more security: but the unmerciful treatment he met with on the way cansed his death there in a few days in great torment. (Walsingham, p. 126Google Scholar) He was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, May 2, 1327.” So says Mr. Aungier in a note to p. 57 of his edition of the original text of the French Chronicle. (Camden Society.) Le Neve, however, agrees with the text, in naming 30 May as the date of the funeral.
