[1813]In a list of monthly wages for July, 1529, there is a payment of £6 13s.4d.to ‘Friar Nicholas, one of the King’s spiritual learned counsel;’ in Feb., 1530, he received £3 15s.by the King’s command: ibid. Vol. V, p. 304. See ibid. Vol. IV, No. 6187 (25), a grant of denization to ‘Nicholas Delborgo, Minorite, S.T.P.,’ Jan. 21, 1530.

[1814]In conjunction with Stokesley and Edw. Fox he wrote (A. D.1530) a book on the King’s marriage, which Cranmer translated into English with alterations and additions: Cal. of State Papers, VIII, 1054; cf. Vol. VII, 289. He is probably the ‘Friar Nicolas, a learned man and the King’s faithful favorer,’ who was employed in negotiating with the University of Bologna for a decision favourable to the divorce (1530): Cal. of State Papers, Vol. IV, No. 6619. But there was another Friar Nicholas at this time who was employed by the Pope, Wolsey, Henry VIII, and other princes. This was a German Dominican, Nicholas de Scombergt or Schomberg, usually called Friar Nicholas or Fra Niccolo. He came to England in 1517, the same year that N. de Burgo began to teach in Oxford. He was in England in 1526, and hoped to be made cardinal. In Oct. 1532 he was on his way to Capua (from England?): a few months previously, Dr. Nicholas of Oxford (i.e. probably N. de Burgo) was trying to leave England. These facts are taken from the Calendars of State Papers, Hen. VIII. Vols. II-V.

When, after Wolsey’s fall, Cardinal College was in danger of suppression, Dr. Nicholas extracted an admission from the King as to the fate of the rich vestments and ornaments which had been sent to London to have the Cardinal’s arms removed; ‘he had begged of the King “whitze copies for the high days of Our Lady.” The King said, “Alack! they are all disposed, and not one of them is left.”’ Tresham to Wolsey, May 12, 1530; Cal. of State Papers, Vol. IV, No. 6377.

[1830]According to Newcourt (Repert. II, 174) this living was vacant by his death before Jan. 22, 1551. There may have been two of the same name. Sir Thomas Kyrkeham, priest, was among those arrested for conspiring at the Grey Friars London to refuse a subsidy to the King in 1531. Foxe, V, 57.

[1941]For the grant of this area by the Abbat and Convent of Osney, at the instance of Ela Longespee, Countess of Warwick, see Wood-Clark II, p. 474.

[1942]This is a reference to the letter dated May 7, 1262, already mentioned; Pat. 46 Hen. III, m. 11. The word ‘aliam’ is not quite clear; it may bealteram.

[1943]The following petition to the King (Parliamentary Petitions, 4299, in the Record Office), probably refers to this grant, or possibly to the grant of Richard Cary (p. 20); the petition is undated. ‘A notre seigneur le Roi si luy plest prient les poures freres Menours de Oxenford qil lour voille graunter la mortificacioun de vne place en Oxenford qe ne vaut qe deux souz per an auxicome retourne est en la chauncellrie et qe est a nuly preiudice.’Endorsed; ‘Soit veu(?) lenqueste et le Roi en dirra sa volonte.’

Memorandum quod Johannes de Westover et Isolda uxor ejus venerunt ad curiam istam et obtulerunt se clam(antes) versus Gardianum fratrum minorum Oxon. qui venit, et petunt partes licentiam concordandi, et habent.’

[1951]He is probably to be identified with ‘Johannes Vallensis Anglus, qui diu Londinii Theologiam docuit,’ who was promoted to theMagisteriumin 1368 by order of Pope Urban V, ‘laureante fratre Bernardo de Guasconibus, ministro Tusciae, et Fratre Simone Bruni in Universitate Tolosana;’ Wadding, vol. viii. p. 209.

[1953]It is clear that J. Prophet was Dean of Hereford when this letter was written; in another letter, referring to the same appointment, he writes: ‘Cum predecessores mei decani et Capitulum herefordenses fundatores in parte domus confratrum vestrorum hereford’ dinoscantur existere.’ Harl.
