^{page 195 note 1} Throughout the essay, the word “prelate” has been used to signify the head of any independent monastery, whether Abbot or Prior. The Chapters are called “General” before 1336, and “Provincial” after that date: the term “General Chapter” when used here is never meant to refer to the annual, local Chapters ordered by Benedict XII, except on p. 212, below, q.v.
