^{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.

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.

^{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.
