In hoc libro continentur transcripta omnium cartarum cỳrographorum 7 aliorum diuersorum scriptorum inuentorum in thesauro ecclesie sancti Pauli London' anno domini m.cc.xl primo.
1. Writ of Edward the Confessor: he wishes the priests of St. Paul's Church to have their sac and soc within and without the borough, and all such good laws as they are entitled to; he does not wish them to receive into their community any more priests than their estates can bear or they themselves desire, nor will he consent that anyone offend them in any way.
page 10 note 1 A/69: Robert [sic] bischop of Dunholm. 7c. The bishop is either William (1081–96), who witnesses more frequently than his predecessor, or Walcher (1071–80). This writ, and the next below, No. 3, are ascribed to William I, as during his reign two vacancies of the episcopal see provided occasions for their issue. But No. 2 is perhaps an O.E. version of No. 6, below.
page 11 note 1 A/69 contains also the first words of the English version: Willeam kỳng gret Rauf Bainard 7 Goffregd of Magnavilla.
page 11 note 2 Maurice was nominated bishop of London by William I at Christmas, 1085. William the deacon was the nephew of Bishop William of London, holding land in Essex at the time of the Domesday Survey, but not as a tenant of Bishop Maurice (V.C.H. Essex, Vol. I, p. 418).Google Scholar

page 15 note 1 William II was in Wales in 1095 and 1097, and William Giffard's first witness as chancellor was in 1094. (Davis: Regesta, No. 349.) Ralph de Marcy was an important subtenant of land in Essex, holding of Hamo dapifer and Count Eustace. Ulric is unidentified unless he be Ulric the Lorimer who held land of St. Paul's ultra Fletam (Davis, , in Essays presented to Tout, p. 55).Google Scholar

page 25 note 2 A/69; Portesmud’.
page 25 note 3 Apparently issued shortly after Richard de Beimels' election, at the synod in London on May 28, at which the king was present, together with a similar writ in favour of Thomas, archbishop of York. Richard's ordination and consecration followed, June–July 1108. (Farrer, : op. cit., pp. 47–8).Google Scholar
page 26 note 1 The only variation is the addition, after breuia … patris mei, of the two words 7 mea.

page 27 note 3 Richard de Lucy's earliest attestation is December 1141 (Round, : Geoffrey de Mandeville, p. 146). Stephen came to London after this date in 1143. A probable occasion for issue was the vacancy of the London see in 1152.Google Scholar

page 30 note 1 Roger Bigot died in 1107 (Farrer, : op. cit., p. 41).Google Scholar
page 30 note 2 Geoffrey Ridel witnesses as archdeacon from 1163 to 1174; the king was at Reading in April 1163 (Eyton, : Itinerary of Henry II, p. 61).Google Scholar
page 31 note 1 Henry has no dei gratia in his style. He was at Berkhampstead in December 1163 (Eyton, : op. cit., p. 66).Google Scholar
page 31 note 2 Reginald de S. Valerico does not witness after 1166.
page 32 note 1 Henry has no dei gratia in his style; and the writ is therefore probably before 1172, certainly before the election of Geoffrey Ridel to the see of Ely in 1173. The first levy of scutage following the new assessment, made on the basis of the cartœ of 1166, was in 1168; Henry levied a second scutage in 1171, after his return to England in August of that year. He was in England only until October, and again, after the Irish expedition, from April 21 to May 12, 1272.
page 33 note 1 The early limit is indicated by the accession of Richard to London, the final limit by the date of the deaths of Basset, and of Roger, nepos Huberti (Farrer, : op. cit., p. 117Google Scholar; Round: Geoffrey de Mandeville, pp, 304–9).Google Scholar
page 33 note 2 1162 was probably the date of the transaction itself in the chapter of St. Paul's. The papal confirmation is dated 1 March 1163; but Richard de Belmeis II, a paralytic since 1160, died in 1162. See above, p. xxxiii, and Nos. 192–3, 231, below.

page 38 note 1 In 1205 John had granted to Bishop William a lease of the manor of Stoke to hold for a yearly payment of a hundred shillings (Rot. Chartarum, p. 147b).Google Scholar
page 39 note 1 Neither this charter nor the preceding one was enrolled.
page 39 note 2 Obliterated.
page 40 note 1 The date of Ralph de Valoignes' death is not known exactly. He last appears in 1109 as witness to a charter of Henry I. The presence of William d'Aubigny the younger would suggest a later date, if Farrer's surmise that he was born c. 1110 is near being correct (Farrer, : Honours and Knights' Fees, III, p. 4–6Google Scholar; Itinerary of Henry I, p. 54Google Scholar). The possibility that this letter was written by Herbert Losinga is suggested, because d'Aubigny's fee, and Ralph de Valoignes' foundation at Binham, were in Norfolk; but there may have been a scribal error, as Round has suggested. Cf. No. 59.
page 41 note 1 Walter de Coutances was then bishop of Lincoln, 1183–4. The earlier history of the church adds interest to this reference to the plea touching the advowson. Robert de Sigillo, bishop of London, had granted the church of Shoreditch to the priory of Holy Trinity—a grant confirmed by Theobald, archbishop of Canterbury, before 1150. During the episcopate of Richard de Belmeis II, the priory was deprived of their right by a certain layman, Baldwin. L.C.C.

page 67 note 3 One of the charters by William, son of William of Haunville, is dated 10. Ann. Joh. (Cartularium monasterii sancti Johannis Baptiste de Colecestria, II. 360Google Scholar). William, son of Ralph, and William, his son, each issued two charters confirming the gift of the church of Takeley (see op. cit., II, 346, 360, St. Paul's, A 26–40/1388). The Colchester versions vary considerably from those of St. Paul's. The cyrograph referred to in the memorandum is a final concord, still extant as A 26–40/1389 (see Newcourt, , II. 351).Google Scholar
page 68 note 1 Robert, son of Roger, was the nephew of the Robert, son of William, who issued the next charter (see Round: Geoffrey de Mandevitte, Appendix, pp. 399Google Scholar seq.). The latter died probably before 1142; the nephew later confirmed the gift of his uncle in the presence of Henry of Anjou (see charter of Henry II in the Colchester cartulary: op. cit., I. 50). The church of Ardleigh was later attached to St. Paul's manor of Ardleigh; in the survey of Chapter property made by Diceto in 1181, the church is stated to be held in demesne by the canons, and no mention is made of a right or claim of Colchester in it (see Hale: Domesday of St. Paul's, pp. 147–8).Google Scholar

page 136 note 1 Following a plea started in the king's court in 1241, it was found that the manor of Lisson Green was held by the hereditary sergeanty of keeping the king's money die by a family descended from Otto the goldsmith. Otto the elder, who died before 1098, had held both the misterium cuneorum and the manor of Lisson Green. A St. Paul's record shows how he obtained possession of the latter. He married Eadgiva, widow of Edward, a citizen of London, who had made a gift of land to St. Paul's to take effect after the death of his wife. On her death Otto prevented the reversion; his son, Otto the goldsmith the younger, to whom Henry I confirmed the possessions of his father, withheld the yearly render of ten shillings to the canons (see Douglas: Feudal Documents of the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds (British Academy, 1932), p. cxxxixGoogle Scholar, and references there cited; London and Middlesex Fines, p. 25Google Scholar; Round, J. H.: An Early Reference to Domesday, in Domesday Studies, II, p. 556Google Scholar; Domesday Book, I, p. 130bGoogle Scholar; and below, pp. 279–80).
No other reference has been found to Theobald of Lisson Green, to show his connection, if any, with the descendants of Otto the goldsmith. The connection seems probable. The title which he adopts is of special interest. Unfortunately, his deed is difficult to date, especially as the agreement is an unusual one. The hii testes and the absence of a warranty clause suggest a time at least before the turn of the century. The picturesque reference found in this charter to a measure usually referred to as pedes Sancti Pauli, is without exact parallel; in 1181–3 Diceto gave the measurement of the London lands of St. Paul's “by the feet of Algar” (B.M., Harl. MS. 6956, fo. 166).
The London messuage of Theobald is possibly the land of the early St. Paul's survey, near to the Arundel messuage, in a ward which may be the Vintry. But in a fourteenth-century document the White Tawyers can be located at the north-east end of Cheapside (Davis, , in Essays presented to Tout, p. 58Google Scholar; Calendar of Hustings Wills, I p. 339).Google Scholar

page 140 note 1 This appeal was made by the bishops in the course of the controversy leading to the papal provision of Stephen Langton. The bishop of London must head the bishops by virtue of his dignity as dean of the provincial chapter; Gilbert Glanville either as the holder of the see of Rochester or by virtue of seniority; the others in order of seniority. Each of the bishops appended his seal to the letter (St. Paul's MS., W.D. 11).
page 141 note 1 In the Hutton transcripts there is a record of the consecration of Eustace de Fauconberg as bishop of London in April 1221; and of the respective claims there put forward by Jocelin of Wells, as senior bishop, Richard Poore of Salisbury as precentor of the provincial chapter and therefore senior in dignity to the bishops present, and Benedict of Sansetun, as bishop of Rochester and therefore the deputy of Canterbury in episcopal consecrations. The bishop of Winchester, said to be the subdean of the chapter, was not present. Finally, the bishop of Rochester performed the ceremony, after conceding the claim made by the dean and chapter of St. Paul's that first dignity belonged to the London church. (B.M., Harl. MS., 6956, fo. 164).

page 174 note 1 This seems to be the only reference to this church under the dedication of St. Wandrille. The identification with the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Fishmarket is very probable. The earliest reference to St. Mary Magdalene in Fishmarket is in Diceto's survey of churches in London in the gift of St. Paul's; it was then held by a perpetual vicar called Richard, who was to render sixteen shillings yearly for four years and twenty shillings thereafter. Simpson, W. S.: Visitation of certain churches, etc., in Archælogia, LX, p. 298Google Scholar. Kingsford, in stating that the earliest mention of this church was in 1162, referred to a deed touching the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Milk Street. His other references are to deeds made out after 1182 (Kingsford: Additional Notes to Stowe's Survey of London, p. 25). Algar the priest held of St. Paul's the church of St. Benet on Thames and a house near the church of St. Peter the Less; the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Fishmarket was in the same neighbourhood (Maxwell-Lyte: Report, pp. 23b, 63b).Google Scholar
Incidentally th is identification serves to date Diceto's survey of churches to the year 1183.

page 187 note 1 The precentor referred to in the charter was Walter fitz Walter, prebendary of Holywell, and precentor of St. Paul's c. 1200, who made a grant from his prebend to the nuns of Holywell (Cal. Charter Rolls [April 1235], p. 200Google Scholar). The prebend of Holywell does not seem to have been formally appropriated to the office of precentor, although many of its holders in the twelfth century had actually held that office (see Newcourt, , I, p. 159).Google Scholar
