^{page 25 note 1} First mentioned as steward in 1286 (W.A.M. 8238). Last mentioned in the abbot's service in 1303–4 (W.A.M. 8254), but probably steward until William Merre took office in 1306. Received a fee of 20 marks a year, raised to £20 by 1299 a. 17, 53, 71, 80; W.A.M. 16921–22). Held lands in chief in Southampton, Berks, and Bucks. (C.Inq.P.M., vi, no. 571). A knight by 1307; baron of the Exchequer 1309–22 (Tout, , Place of the Reign of Edward II in English History, 2nd edn (Manchester, 1936), p. 306)Google Scholar; keeper of the temporalities of Westminster Abbey in the vacancy after Wenlok's death (C.P.R., 1307–1313, p. 225Google Scholar; W.A.M. 5435).

^{page 25 note 2} Alias Merry. Known to be steward from 25 Dec. 1306 (I. 239), and probably steward from a date earlier in 1306 (I. 227). Last mentioned as steward in 1307–8 (W.A.M. 8230). His fee was £20 a year (I. 239,241). Formerly steward of the earl of Cornwall at Berkhampstead and constable of Berkhampstead Castle (C.P.R., 1292–1301, p. 608Google Scholar; C.C.R., 1296–1302, p. 468).Google Scholar

^{page 25 note 3} Except in 1298–99 and 1304–5, one of the two stewards of Wenlok's household was a monk of Westminster and the other was a stipendiary official. (In 1298–99 both were monks and in 1304–5 both were stipendiary.) Pearce's distinction between the wardens (custodes) nd the stewards of the household (Monks, p. 213Google Scholar) appears to be without foundation; the only example of the use of the former title in the thirteenth century is in Wenlok's household ordinances, where the French equivalent—gardeins de nostre hostel—is used once (below, p. 241); in the fourteenth century the titles were used without discrimination for the same official.

Repeated liveries of manorial issues and payments from the abbatial treasury to the same monk and clerk or layman are almost certain evidence that the recipients were stewards of the household; if the words pro hospicio are added the matter is usually beyond doubt.

^{page 25 note 4} Known to be in office from 28 Dec. 1286 until 16 Mar. 1287 (W.A.M. 24491). In 1286 the abbot's chaplain.

^{page 25 note 5} Known to be in office from 23 Oct. 1287 until 16 Mar. 1288 (W.A.M. 24492–93). See Monks, p. 64Google Scholar, where, however, W.A.M. 28882 is cited in error as proof that Brother Reymund was warden (i.e. steward) of the household in 1291.

^{page 25 note 6} Known to be in office from 13 Mar. 1288 until 20 June 1289 (II. 1–2); Brother Ralph therefore overlapped for a few days with Brother Reymund de Wenlok. He was the abbot's chaplain.

^{page 25 note 7} Brother Alexander's receipts and expenses accounts run from 29 Sept. 1289 to 6 Sept. 1290 (II. 3 and 5); but he had custody of the abbot's valuables from 24 June 1289 (II. 4) and probably was steward for this longer period. Brother Reginald de Hadham was given the keys of the abbot's treasure on 20 June 1289 (II. 2), but this was a temporary measure; he does not rank as a steward of the household.

Pearce's statement (Monks, pp. 64, 213Google Scholar) that Brother Thomas de Lenton was steward of the household between 1289 and 1292 appears to be a mistake. It is based on W.A.M. 31277 (I. 17), which in fact gives Brother Thomas no title, and on W.A.M. 24497, his account for work supervised in the monks' cemetery between 28 May and 20 Aug. 1290; this is not a household account, and the title senescallas abbatis which it gives Brother Thomas is added in a later hand. Brother Thomas had charge of some abbatial funds c. 1289, probably in the capacity of warden of the fair at Westminster (I. 8; below, p. 161). He may also have been warden of the walls along the Thames between 1286 and 1290 (I. 2, 9; see above, p. 19, note).

^{page 26 note 5} The household day-account extant in the names of Brother Adam and Brother John runs from 30 Sept. 1298 to 29 Sept. 1299 (W.A.M. 24502), but references to them in manorial accounts suggest that their joint stewardship began before Michaelmas 1298 (W.A.M. 16920, 16840, 25927, 14783; Gloucester County Records Office, 1099/M31/16). I. 136–37 suggest that Brother Adam was steward as early as Jan. 1298; see also below, p. 193.

^{page 26 note 9} Called senescallus domus in the household day-account on 28 Dec. 1286 (W.A.M. 24491); still steward on 20 June 1289 (II. 2). In the year beginning in Sept. 1289, though no longer steward, he received a fee of 25s. (below, pp. 167, 176). Probably the William del Ewe mentioned in Wenlok's household ordinances (below, p. 247). He had been coroner for Westminster Abbey (Westminster Domesday, fo. 93^v).

^{page 27 note 5} I. 162; below, p. 196; W. A.M. 26871. Gravesend remained in the abbot's service as a clerk for six months after he ceased to be steward of the household.

^{page 27 note 6} Alias Langford, Langeford, etc. See I. 234, 259, 261–62; below, p. 211; W.A.M. 27404–6, 25937, 26872. Though Longford received money for and made payments on behalf of the household, his annual fee was only 8s. (I. 231, 256), and this raises a doubt whether he was a fully fledged steward. A larger fee was paid in 1306–7 to John de Dodele, alias Duddele, who on one occasion received £12 19s. 2d. to acquit household debts (I. 204, 231; below, pp. 197, 206).

^{page 27 note 7} Substantial and repeated payments of unassigned manorial issues to monks who were not stewards of the household probably amount to evidence that these monks were the abbot's receivers; after 1295 writs ordering monks to make payments from the abbot's treasury provide the necessary evidence.

Pearce's statement (Monks, pp. 64, 212) that Brother John de Henie was receiver in 1288–89 is based on a misdating of W.A.M. 24253; in fact this account belongs to the year 1342.Google Scholar

^{page 27 note 8} Brother Thomas and Brother Reymund were in charge of abbatial funds in 1291 and 1292 (W.A.M. 27109, 25917–18, 8242, 8244; see also W.A.M. 26856, 16912, and I. 11, 17).

^{page 27 note 13} Brother Henry's accounts as sole receiver run from 13 Dec. 1305 to 24 Dec. 1307 (II. 7–9). In 1305 and 1306 he was also sacrist (I. 156, 160, 195–96, etc.) and in 1307 sub-prior (I. 235, 256). Supported Wenlok in the quarrel of 1307 and took a prominent part in the election of Kedyngton in 1308. See also Monks, p. 71.Google Scholar

^{page 28 note 1} First mentioned as steward in I. 1. Last mentioned in I. 135. Received a fee of £5 a year (W.A.M. 28962). Possibly a clerk (above, p. 6).

^{page 28 note 2} An official of this name held the manorial courts at Bourton-on-the-Hill between 1305 and 1307 and may have been steward of the Western Parts (W.A.M. 8230, 8256). See also below, p. 200.

^{page 28 note 3} The dates given are those between which John de Batesford is known to have been in the abbot's service (W.A.M. 16913–14, 16916; I. 62). Called senescallus abbatis in 1293 (W.A.M. 28938). By 1293 he was receiving a fee of at least 14 marks a year (ibid.; W.A.M. 16913). If identical with the royal justice of the same name (see C.P.R., 1292–1301, pp. 48, 162Google Scholar, etc.) Batesford was probably the abbot's legistre. Two of his mandates to manorial officials, both dealing with legal matters, are extant (I. 344–45). His seal, set with an antique gem, is on W.A.M. 28938.

^{page 28 note 4} The warden of ‘La Neyte’ acted as bailiff of the manor of ‘Eye’. Wardens can be identified by writs addressed to them under that title or without the title but jointly with the reeve of ‘Eye’, and by references in the accounts of ‘Eye’ to their work as bailiffs. In I. 22 the reeve of ‘Eye’ is also termed warden of ‘La Neyte’.

^{page 28 note 5} I. 22–23, 27, 37, 39–41; W.A.M. 26858.

^{page 28 note 6} I.102 shows that Brother John was warden of ‘La Neyte’ in Oct. 1296. That he supervised the corn harvest at ‘Eye’ in 1294 and repairs at ‘La Neyte’ in the year 1294–95 suggests that he was already warden then (W.A.M. 26858–59). Between 1295 and 1297 he may have been almoner of Westminster Abbey as well (W.A.M. 26860–61). Pearce's statement (Monks, pp. 63, 199Google Scholar) that Brother Reginald de Hadham was almoner for the whole period from 18 June 1294 until 24 June 1305 is a mistake: Brother Reginald is known to have been almoner only between 24 June 1304 and 24 June 1305, and possibly not for the whole of this period (W.A.M. 19841).

^{page 29 note 10} In this section are listed those who appear to have served Wenlok as full-time clerical officials. The glimpses which we have of these clerks in Wenlok's accounts and writs show—what is implied also by differences in previous education and later careers—that they had varied duties; few were mere scribes.

^{page 29 note 11} Alias de Elding. In the abbot's service from 1282 (W.A.M. 25906, 27394; see also W.A.M. 28811, 28813). Frequently employed as an auditor or to make the view of account, and therefore probably the clerk des maners of Wenlok's house-hold ordinances (below, p. 247). Attorney for the abbot during his absence from England in 1286 and 1287 (C.P.R., 1281–92, pp. 224, 266).Google Scholar

^{page 29 note 12} Received a fee of 3 marks a year between 1288 and 1306 (W.A.M. 24495, 28946; below, pp. 166, 176; I. 67, 102, 138, 156, 224).

^{page 29 note 13} Proctor for the abbot and convent of Westminster in their dispute with Archbishop Pecham about visitation rights at Great Malvern Priory in 1289 (W.A.M. 22929, 22931–32).

(Westminster Abbey held the advowson of this church.) Acted as a witness in 1299 (Westminster Domesday, fo. 146). Possibly the scholar of Oxford named Kranesleg' to whom Wenlok gave money on one occasion (I. 297).

^{page 29 note 16} In the service of the abbot and convent of Westminster from 1286; received a fee of 2 marks a year, of which the abbot paid 1½ marks and the prior and convent ½ mark (W.A.M. 24490, 28815; I. 5). By 1297 Deneby had passed wholly into the service of the prior and convent and received from them 3 marks a year (W.A.M. 19838, 29026, 29030, etc.). Described as magister; said to be rector of St Laurence near Candlewick Street, London, in 1289, and of Launton in 1295 (W.A.M. 22929, 15689). (The advowson of both churches belonged to Westminster Abbey.) Proctor for the abbot and convent of Westminster against the bishop of London in 1290, and for Prior Reginald de Hadham against Wenlok in 1307 and 1308 (W.A.M. 12783, 9499E; see Pearce, , Walter de Wenlok, pp. 182, 187Google Scholar). Pearce's statement (ibid., p. 180) that Deneby was a notary is a mistake.

^{page 29 note 17} Received a fee from the abbot and convent of Westminster jointly between 1301 and 1304; in 1301 the amount was 5 marks, but by 1303 it was only 4 marks (W.A.M. 29095, 29148, 29153, 29171, 29176). In 1307 he received a fee of 5 marks for half a year from the abbot alone (below, p. 213). After Wenlok's death Gloucester passed wholly into the service of the prior and convent and received from them a fee of 4 or 5 marks a year until 1314 (W.A.M. 29258, 29308, 29316, 29350, etc.). Described as magister andjurisperitus (W.A.M. 29095, 9457). In 1307 one of the abbot's counsellors (below, p. 212). Nominated by Wenlok's successor, Abbot Kedyngton, for presentation by the prior and convent of Westminster to the church of Aldenham (W.A.M. 4495).

^{page 29 note 18} Received a fee of 10s. as a clerk for the half-year beginning on 29 Sept. 1306 (I. 235). Said to be at the papal curia in Oct. 1306 (I. 222 and below, p. 201). Formerly steward of the household.

^{page 29 note 19} Kent wrote the accounts of the steward of the household in 1288–89 and was probably his clerk (below, p. 158). Subsequently himself a steward of the household.

^{page 30 note 1} Received a fee of 3 marks a year between 1289 or 1290 and 1297 (below, p. 176; W.A.M. 24501, 28964, 28993, 29001; I. 65, 134).

^{page 30 note 5} Wenlok's fee of 3 marks a year is mentioned only in 1306 (I. 224), but he was still in the abbot's service in 1307, when he supervised the carrying of the corn at Pershore (W.A.M. 22093). Described as magister (I. 224).Google Scholar

^{page 30 note 6} A clerk of this name, who was one of Wenlok's nephews, is mentioned in his service in 1297 and 1298; his fee of £5 a year was paid by the prior and convent (W.A.M. 29025, 29065; see also Pearce, , Walter de Wenlok, pp. 60, 64Google Scholar, where the amount of the half-yearly instalment is given in error as 40s.). Perhaps the William de Wenlok mentioned in the abbot's livery list (below, p. 247 and note). A William de Wenlok was presented by the abbot and convent of Westminster to the church of St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge, in 1300 (Pearce, , op. cit., p. 61Google Scholar). Abbot Wenlok himself presented a William de Wenlok to the church of Sawbridgeworth at an unknown date (W.A.M. 8606).

^{page 30 note 7} The terms ‘fee’ and ‘pension’ are used indifferently by Wenlok, sometimes of the same payment. Fees are distinguished from pensions in the receiver's account in 1307, but the principle behind the distinction is now obscure (below, pp. 212–13). In the present volume the former term is used throughout, because most of the payments described as fees or pensions were made in return for current or future services, not as rewards for past services.

The list includes the names of some annuitants whose fees were paid jointly by the abbot and the prior and convent of Westminster; it excludes the names of those whose entire fees were paid by the prior and convent. Since many annuitants were retained on account of their usefulness in the law courts, Wenlok's demand for or acceptance of any conventual contribution to their fees might be held to infringe the clauses in the compositions laying on the abbot the whole cost of litigation in defence of the property and liberties of the Abbey (below, pp. 220, 226, 230–31). That this was an issue in 1307 is suggested by the deposition of Robert de Sancto Martino: quod Ricardas abbas [sc. Ware] … tempore suo defendebat ecdesiam Westrr' predictam in spiritualibus et temporalibus per elencos et pugiles suos sumptibus suis propriis (W.A.M. 9497); see also below, p. 240.

^{page 31 note 8} Received a fee of 3 or 5 marks a year between June 1306 and Dec. 1307 (I. 205; below, p. 202). Baron of the Exchequer (Emden, , Biographical Reg. of the University of Oxford, i, p. 5).Google Scholar

^{page 31 note 9} Received 5 marks, being half his annual fee, on 24 Nov. 1293 (W.A.M. 28945). Part of the name on this acquittance is now illegible; Dr E. J. L. Scott, keeper of the muniments of Westminster Abbey 1891–1917, read it as Walterus de Asschewelle.

^{page 31 note 10} Alias Bardelby. Receivedafee of 3 marks a year from a date earlier than 1277 to 1306 (W.A.M. 28795, 29180; I. 138, 174). After 1300 the prior and convent of Westminster paid half this fee (W.A.M. 29066, 19841).
