PREFACE.
TriR Rfxjister of Bisliop Thomas de RraiitynGjliani is coraprised
in two folio Volumes, written on vellinn. A few of the leaves, in
both Volumes, liave been injured bv damp ; but, happily, it has
been found possible to read, or supply with certainty, everv
damaged word.^ In other respects botli Volumes ai'e in an excellent
state of preservation throughout.
Volume I contains- the continuation from Volume TT of the
"Registrum Connnune." Avhich, except for the theft of a single
folio, is complete from the 5th of March, 1.369-70, the date of
the Bull of Pope Urban the Fifth, to the 16th of May, 1392, rather
more than two years and a half before the Bishop's death. The last
Entry, a long one, beginning on folio 231 and occupying the whole
of folio 231 li, has been mutilated, through the loss of the succeeding
folios, and its date lias conse(|uentlv perished. Tliis Volume con-
sists now, therefore, of 231 foHos, nominally, but, really, of 230,
folio 69 liavinir been cut out. The writino- of the earlier folios
(1 48), though quite legible, is extremely poor and irregular, the
work of several unskilful liands ; the remainder of the Volume is,
with few exceptions, beautifully written.
^ The headings of the Entrie.s are. with vcry few exceptions, written on the
niareins, and only |iortions of such hcadinps have bcen damaji'ed by damp.
Words wliich havc pcrishcd, or of which only vcry slight traccs rcmain, have
becn casily rcstored aftcr coinpai'ison witli thc text of thc Entries. Thc
numbers of the folios were entcred at the toj) of each page, at the extremc
right-hand corncr, and of thcse a great many havc bccn quite destroyed, rcnder-
ing rcfercncc to tlie contents of thc Rcgistcr difticult. Attempts have becn made
to mcct this difficulty. aftcr a fashion, l)y at lcast two cai'cless scribcs, who, in
many placcs havc cntcred th(^ missiiig ligurcs, iti itil\ quitc inaccurately, here
and thcrc corrccting one anotlicr's work, but often not corrcctly : thus causing
great confusion. I havc cntered the true figures throughout, in pencil,
whercvcr nccessary ; aud I uced scarcely say that all the refei-ences in my
Books arc to my own pcncilled figurcs. It would bc well, T thiuk, that thc
folios should be pro])er]y rcnumbcrcd in ink, and the mislcading figurcs can-
collcd, by competcnt autliority.
- Thc Scventeenth Century binders have labellcd as " Vol. II" whaf is,
really, Yol. I. See page. 3 for the General Title,
X PREFACK.
Volume TT consists, nominally, of 279 folios, hut, reallv, of only
2G7, no fpwer tlian 12 folios liaving fallen victims to depredators :
viz., seven (folios 29, 35, 104, 111, UG, 117, HS) froni the liegister
of Tnstitutions,! and five (folios 1, 2, 3, ."^, 9), from tlie nine folios,
containing iniscellnneous Entries, which have been l)ound in at the
beginning of ' The Register of Commissions," and included with it
in its ow 11 separate numeration. This Volume contains
(1.) The tirst part of the " Ilegistrum Comraune," A.D. 13G9-70:
folios 1 6.-
(2.) The llegister of Tnstitutions, Collations, and Tnductions,
A.I). 13701394; folios 7 154.-=
(3.) iVIiscellaneous Entries of various dates ; folios (under a
separate numeration) 1 9, of which only fulios 4 7
remain. The first of these Documents (now, alas, a mere
fragment) was a heautifully wiitten copy of tlie Bishop's
Ordinance for the Dedication of the Chapel and Cemeteiy
of St. Saviour's, Dartmouth, in 1372. Happily, this
Document, M'hich is of great interest, lias been preserved,
in full, in the Register itself.* The other Entries, also,
belong to the " Registrum Commune," and will be found
therein under their proper dates, witli marginal refe-
rences to these stray folios.""
(4.) The Register of Com.missions, A.D. 1370 13S7-8: foHos

nostris ob tuorum exigenciam meritorum accepta, de Fratrum
eorundem consilio, Auctoritate Apostolica duxerimus pro-
videndum, preficiendo te illi in Episcopum et Pastorem, prout
in nostris inde confectis Literis plenius continetur ; nos, ad

^ It is, apparently, impossible to iden-
tify this See in partibus. Dr. Oliver
{Lives of the Bishop.s of Exeter, p. 90),
boldly ventures on " John, Bishop of
Bayonne" anunaccountableblunder.
Bishop Stubbs failed to identify the
See (and the Diocese of " Ayobana "
is not mentioned, or any name at all
like it, in any of the Books of Refer-
ence) ; but in the last Edition (1897)
of hiB Registrum Anglicanum he gives
some interesting pai'ticulars as to the
man himself. It appears that John
served as a Suffragan-Bishop within
the Proviuce of Canterbury from
1366. His Will (in which he is called
"Ayeb.") is dated 14 March, 1380-1.
He was then dwelling iu the Hermi-
tage at Cripplegate, and he desired
to be buried inthe ConventualChurch
of Stratford {Essex). The Will was
proved 18 March, 1381-2.

{."V (at Ertst Horsley) received the Certificate of Institution, etc, from Hugh de
Hikelynge, President of the Cousistory Court, whom he had commissioned
to make Inquisition as to the vacancy, etc, and to deal with the matter.
From the first fevv lines of his Letter which remain to us, we find that
Torre had been presented to the Bishop by the Patroiis, the Prior and Con-
vent of Plympton ; but, being engnged in the King's affairs, and consequeutly
at a distance from his City and Diocese, he had decided to proceed by
Commission, being anxious to spare the said William trouble and espense.
The Commissary was to act with the Archdeacon or his OiRcial, not con-
vening the whole Chapter of the Deanery.

106 THE REGISTER OF BISHOP BRANTYNGHAM,
A.D. Documeut, containiug, as it does, many interesting particulars as to the
Y^' Vicarage and Parish of Morweustowe, is of some importauce. The reference
II. ' to the " tres ville de Tunnacombis " has a special interest of its own.
Our Cornish Poet, the late Kev. R. S. Hawker, for many years Vicar of Mor-
wenstowe, was wont to call the place " Tiduacombe," stating that he had
very early authority for the strange nomenclature ; and one of the most
beautiful of his miuor Poems is entitled " The token-stream of Tidna-
combe." I have beeu permitted to see a copy of this Taxation, made
many years ago and certified by Mr. Ralph Barnes, then the Registrar of
this Diocese ; aud the mystery was explaiued at once. This copy has
"Tidnacombis," which, of course, misled Mr. Hawker. In the origiual, how-
ever, I fiud "Tunnacombis," and there can be no doubt that "Tonacombe,"
as the name is now always written, was prouounced " Tunuacombe." The
letter " u " is turued up at the end, the usual contracted form of " un ";
but the writing is obscure ; and, although experts would read it correctly
without hesitatiou, it might easily, in this case, be mistaken for " id "
by others. Tonacombe (the property, by inheritauce, of the late Rev. W.
Waddon Martyn, Rector of Lifton, who lent me Mr. Barnes's copy) is. in
mauy respects, the most remarkable medieval House in the West of
Enghind. It is on a miniature scale ; but it is complete in all its parts,
and I may add that it was restored loviugly by Mr. Martyu, the greatest
care having been takeu not to interfere in any way with the work of its
builders.

Bishop Brantyngham died on the 23rd of December, 1394, about three weeks
after the latest of these Entries. It is deeply to be regretted that his fine Register
of Institntions should have been marred by the shameful abstracting of several
folios ; a loss which is, of course, irreparable. It will be found, too, that, in
several places, room was reserved for Entries which were never made. But, on
the whole, the record is fairly contiuuous and complete. I say "continuous," because
in nearly every instance the name of the predecessor, who had either resigned
his Benefice or had died, is given, which was far from being the case in the
earher Registers. And it will be found that some of the omitted Entries can be
supplied from the Register of Commissions, in which Institutions by Com-
missaries, after Inquisitions made on the spot, are duly recorded. There will,
therefore, V)e very little difficulty in compiling complete Lists of successive Incum-
bents, as far as their names are concerned, though in many cases the dates of
Institution have perished with the stoleu folios.

it was duly sealed and witnessed ; there were many legacies, and he, the
said William, waa named therein as one of the Executors. He was him-
self present when the Will was made, and had promised to serve. After
testator's death, feeling some doubt as to the validity of the Will, he had
concluded that the administratiou of the efifects of the deceased, as of a
man dyiug intestate, had lapsed to the Bishop. But he had receutly
ascertaiued that he had beeu mistakeu iu tliis, as the witnesses, who still
survived, could prove ; and he was afraid that, through his carelessness,
the testator would be wronged and the legatees prejudiced. Accordingly,
he besought the Bishop to iuterveue and sanction his fulfilling his duties
as au Executor. The Bishop, being abseut from the Diocese, appointed
the above-named Commissaries to deal with the matter on his behalf,
requiring them to commit the exeeution of the Will, " prout decet,"

maker, perpetually engaged in stirring up " contenciones, rixas, pugnas,
disseusiones, et errores," between the Clerks of Bosham and layfolk in the
neighbourhood, making himself a terror to his brother-Miuisters, who
were accustomed to take to flight whenever they met him. He indulged

R. of Petrockstowe. Tlie Bishop had recently visited St. German's
Priory, and had found many things which demanded correction, touching
which he had sent his Decree to the Prior and Couveut ; but it had been
treated with contempt, the Prior and Canons being still guilty of lax
habits aud immodest practices, neglecting the due observance and disci-
pline of their Rule : they were as dissohite and unfaithful in the present,
as they had been iu the past, to the peril of their souls and the detrimeut
