page 38 note 16 John Ederych de Midelton was instituted vicar of Halvergate, east Norfolk, on 18 December 1426 (REG/5, Book 9, fo. 22r). On 23 May 1433 he exchanged the vicarage for the rectory of Felthorpe, north Norfolk (REG/5, Book 9, fo. 62r). In the entry noting the exchange, as well as a few lines later in the record of his trial, he is styled Master, but he cannot be dentified with any probability with a university graduate. Probably, too, he was not the same man as the Master John Midelton, M.A., who assisted at many of the later trials.

page 40 note d The bracketed paragraph is at the foot of the page, detached from the other contents of the page. It seems unlikely that it refers to John Miaelton since he successfully purged himself. Of those whose trials appear on the preceding page of the manuscript and on the following one, it could refer to John Baker (see pp. 68–70). But this, too, seems unlikely since there is plenty of space after the record of his trial for it to have been written there.

page 45 note 44 Sanctum pairem Abram probably refers to William White ; though it could refer, as Dr Thomson thought, to the John Abraham who was a leader of the Lollards in Colchester and who may have been executed in 1428 or 1429. The latter may earlier have been the John Abraham of Woodchurch, Kent, who was suspected of heresy and who had disappeared from his home by the summer of 1428 (see below, p. 152; Thomson, , Later Lollards, pp. 121–2Google Scholar; Reg. Chichele, ed, Jacob, iv, p. 298).

page 45 note 45 See above, pp. 8 and 29–30. Throughout this manuscript, as well as in Archbishop Chichele's register (Reg. Chichele, ed. Jacob, iv, p. 297Google Scholar), he is called John, In the treasurer of Norwich's record of his burning he is called William (The Records of the City of Norwich, ed. Hudson, W. and Tingey, J. (Norwich, 19061910), ii, p. 66Google Scholar). But it is clear that the same person is being referred to.

John (or William) Waddon is not, however, to be confused with the Wardon of Loddon who appeared as a defendant at the trials (see: above, pp. 32–4; and below, p. 176, where the two men are mentioned separately). It is not clear whether the latter, too, was called John or William. However, two lists (see pp. 176 and 179), which seem to be listing the same people, suggest that in this case, too, only one person was involved; though William Wardon may have been the unnamed son (see p. 76) of John Wardon.

page 46 note 46 i.e., Caiaphas.

page 46 note 47 These indulgences are not recorded elsewhere.

page 46 note 48 i.e., Quadragesima. See Canon 5 of the Council of Nicaea, 325 (Hefele, C. J. and Leclerq, H., Histoire des Conciles (Paris, 1907–), ii, p. 548Google Scholar). The forty days mentioned in the canon may not refer to the fast before Easter, but the earliest unambiguous reference to the forty-day fast before Easter also dates from the pontificate of Sylvester I, 314–35 (The Catholic Dictionary of Theology, ed. Davis, H. F., Crehan, J. and others (London 1961–), ‘Lent’, iii, pp. 199200).Google Scholar

page 47 note 51 Possibly John Belward, junior.

page 47 note 52 The book cannot be identified with certainty. Lex Christi is not known to have been the title of a Lollard book, but Wyclifie and others frequently used the phrase to mean the Scriptures (e.g., Trialogus, iii. 31 (pp. 238–43)), and Margery Baxter may well have been using it in the same sense.

Thomas Ryngstede, who attended many of the trials, though not Margery Baxter's, had been dean since October 1426 (Emden, , BRUC, pp. 499500Google Scholar). His predecessor was John Rickinghall, who was dean from 1405 until his promotion to the bishopric of Chichester in 1426 (Emden, , BRUC, p. 480Google Scholar; though Dr Emden is not correct in saying that he had had a previous spell as dean, beginning in 1395).

page 192 note g t The bracketed paragraph is at the foot of the page, detached from the other contents of the page. It seems unlikely that it refers to Richard Clerk since he successfully purged himself. Of those whose trials appear on the preceding page of the manuscript and on the following one, it could refer to Katherine Wryght (see pp. 193–4). But this, too, seems unlikely since there is space after the record of her trial for it to have been written there.

But even after the election and coronation of Eugenius IV, all the dates in the manuscript that use a pontifical year (the last datable to a day is 14 March 1431) continue to use a year of Martin V's pontificate.

page 214 note 234 The outside dates for the trial are 21 November 1430 (when the year 14 Martin V began) and 24 March 1431 (when Annus Domini 1430 ended), even though the year 14 Martin V had ended before the latter date (see p. 198, n. 17). But several factors suggest that it took place on 14 March 1431: in the manuscript it follows several trials that took place on that day; it, like they, was held in the Bishop's Palace in Norwich; and the two witnesses, John Midelton and Robert Goverton, also witnessed the trials that took place en 14 March, but very few others (see pp. 206–14).
