20 The reason for proposing this date will emerge from the discussion that follows.
21 Accounts rendered by papal collectors in England, 1317–1378, ed. W. E. Lunt and E. B. Graves, Philadelphia 1968, 494. The suggestion that Wycliffe owed £29 5s. 8d. (Anne Hudson and Anthony Kenny in ODNB), is a misunderstanding; that sum is a total of several assessments or payments, including Wycliffe's.

23 Giffard also talks of ‘newly added’ prebendaries being allowed a year in which to find a vicar, but this related to a scheme of his to increase the number of prebends, and did not apply to the five original prebendaries although it may, perhaps, have been misinterpreted to do so by Wycliffe's time.
