' B ^ H E death of the late learned and ingenious Mr. -■- Warton happening in the very moment of this Publication, the Editor hopes he fhall not be accufed of prefumptiou in embracing the opportunity of acknow- ledging the honour of his friendfhip. By Mr. Warton's judgement of the work he was firft induced to undertake it, by his friendly opinions encouraged in the profecution of it, and by his kind admonitions afTifted in its comple- tion. He leaves it to abler hands to defcribe thofe various merits, the lofs of which are powerfully felt and exprefled in the affedionate regrets and refpcd of his friends and the public. To his Friends he was endeared by iiis fimple, open, and friendly manners ; to this Univerfity by a long refidence and many fervices ; and to the Public by the valuable additions, which have been made by his talents to EngliOi Poetry, Antiquities, and Criticifm.*

A Commentary on the fupreme Magiftrates of the Univerfity of Oxford;

NAMELY,

Of the Chancellors, Commissaries, Prochancellors, or Vicechancellors, and Proctors.

NOTWITHSTANDING the Cantabrigians (i) have been fo bold as to derive their Catalogue of Chancellors from Amphibalus the Mar- tyr, who, as they fay, was the firft Reftor of the Scholars of Cambridge City, An. Dom. 289, and from others who interruptedly fucceedcd, viz. Mauritius in the time of Conftantine the Great, An. Dom, 310, Kynotus in the timcp-of K. Arthur, an. 517, Edbertus in the reign of Cedwall, an. 678, Almericus in the reign of Cadwallader, an. 690, &c. and I know not whom, (all received upon uncertain truft by the firft author of thofe matters, Nich. de Cantilupo, who died An. Dom. 1441) yet 1 fliall not prefume to do as they have done, but infert only thole that I find from record, not in the leaft to be doubted by many.

To pafs by therefore St. German, St. Gildas, Melkinus, Nennius, Kentigernus, and others, who lived in the times of the Britains and Saxons, reported by a very good Exemplar (as Camden faith) of Aflerius Mcnevenri3(2) to have ftudied in Oxford, and there to have made good

Append. B Orders

3 FASTI OXONIENSES.

Orders and Statutes for the Academians, which they would not, nor could have done, unlefs probably they were the fupreme Rectors or Governors of the Scholars there, I fhall begin with St. Grymbald, whom few or none there be, that will or can deny, but that he was Reftor or Governor of the Schools of Oxford, and the Scholars thereof, and from him defcend to others, as I find them mentioned in record. But before I begin, I think it fit to acquaint the reader with fome things which may perhaps be neceffary to be known by him before he enters upon the following Comment, and thofe are ;

I. That the Chancellors have anciently been written and ftiled Reftors and Mailers of the Schools, and Reftors and Mafters of the Scholars, as may be farther feen in this Comment, an. 121 1, 1294, &c.

II. That their place and ofBce hath been derived, fo far as concerns their confirmation, from the Diocefan, the Bifhop of Lincoln, and their nomina- tion and eleftion by the Regents and Non Regents of the Univerfity, conti- nuing fo till towards the latter end of Edw. IIIj and then they were always after elefted and confirmed by the faid Regents and Non Regents only.

III. That their confirmation by the Diocefan, and eledion by the Acade- mians, was fometime every year, and for the mod part every two. The like alfo was it, when both eledion and confirmation came into the hands of the faid Academians, which continued till the office of Chancellor became per- petual and for term of life.

IV. That the faid office in ancient time was only borne by fuch that were refident in the Univerfity, as by Mafters and Dodtors of Hoftles or Halls and Colleges, Monks, Fryers, &c. afterwards by Biffiops, and at length fometimes by perfons of the laity, of whom Sir John Mason was the firft.

V. That ample privileges have been granted to them by popes, kings, and bifhops, as I have told you feveral times in this work, whereby their au- thority became great, and their perfons much refpefted and honoured.

VI. That for their help in adminiftering juftice, and doing ordinary and common things belonging to their office, they have had Deputies allowed them (fometimes more and at other times fewerj called anciently Vice-ge- rents and fometimes Commiflaries, by which laft name I find them men- tioned ( i) in the ift and 2nd of Edw. III. Afterwards they were altogether called fo, but now and for many years fince, Vice chancellors, and that too when the Chancellors have been refiding in the Univerfity.

VII. That for the more honour of the office, have fervants been allowed to wait upon thofe that bear it, within the precincts of the Univerfity, and to uffier them in all public afl'emblies, fuch I mean that we call Beadles, each of them (in number fix, befides a Vergerer) carrying a filver ftaff erected in their hand, which office is very ancient, and beyond record, mention being made of them (how many at one time I find not) in the reign of Henry III, and before.

VIII. That

VIII. That in the vacancy of the Chancellorfliip, the Senior Theologus, called Cancellarius Natus, then refident in the Univerfity, did anciently ex- ercife all jurifdidion within the precinds thereof, otherwife belonging to the office of Chancellor, by giving oaths, keeping the Court, fetting the leal to public inftruments, prefiding in the eledlion of fucceeding Chancellors, ap- pearing in fiiics commenced againft the Univerfity, proving of wills, and granting adminiflration of the goods of privileged perfons, which continued till the reign of Edw. VI, at which time the office of Senior Theologus began to decline.

As for the Proctors (whofe office is as ancient for aught that I know as that of the Chancellor) are men of great power and rule in the Univerfity, efpecially as to thofe who have not obtained the title of Mafter, Their elec- tion hath been anciently from the number of fenior Mailers, not by the Bilhop of Lincoln, but by the Regents and non-Regents in Congregation, who alto, with the Chancellor, confirmed and admitted them. And as they were taken from the faid feniors, fo alfo was there great care had that one fliould be a Northern and the other a Southern man, becaufe of the conftant difcord between thofe parties, and efpecially that partiality againft either party (if both Proftors fhould be of one party) fliould be avoided.

The matters that thefe officers were anciently to look after, and fee that they were thoroughly executed, were thefe (as in our ancient books (i) it appears) viz. to proceed and [exercife] their authority :

"Non accedentes ad Scolas. Trahentes in Scolis in Quadragefima. Determinatores minus diu ftantes. Eofdem non Logicalia difputantes. Non accidentes ad Licenciaciones. Non parentes monicionibus Cancellarii, Tranfgredientes privilegia vel ftatuta. Non opponentes Inceptoribus. Non folventes Magiftris. Non legentes modo fuo confueto.

iProrogantes vel anticipanres Ordinaria. Non volentes expedire ncgocia Univerfitatis. Non venientcs tcmpeftive ad Scolas. Non habentes habitum ec tonfuram decentes. Non habentes nomina Scolarium. Non recitantes rotulum. Non parentes regulis Procuratorum. Impetrantes pacis fufpendium per triennium. Sulpedos qualitercunque. -Venientes cum multitudine.

But in thefe things their power did not, nor doth, reft only •, but in other matters, as in keeping the peace of the City, in having authority over and corredting the people of the Laity, if they are found guilty of ftubborn- nefsj irreverence, faucinefs to them, of unfeafonable tipling in public houfes, and fuch like : of which matters, and other power that they have (though lelTened by the new Statutes) being too tedious now to recite, I Ihall proceed in my work. In the beginning of which, though I am but flenderly accommodated with the names of Chancellors, Commiflaries, and Proclors, fuch is the defed of our Records, yet the candid Reader I hope, (efpecially thofe verfed in Hiftories and Antiquities) will excufe me, and not be apt to impute the fault on me, but time, the devourer of all things.

The names of which officers (for whom thefe places are left) appearing not for this year, neither for divers following, I fliall fpare their room till 1 find them occur.

An. Dom. 889. Chancellor Beategravius, if any faith or truft might be given to the Black Book (i) of Cambridge ; for among certain obfervations that he hath of K. Alfred, I find this — ' Videns ergo &c.' ' He feeing there- fore that the Scholars, which he brought to Oxford, continually ftudied in the compofition of the Laws, and expofition of the holy Scripture, appointed them for their Redor Grymbald, Reftor and Chancellor of the City of Cambridge, who being burdned with old age, permitted him to ceafe from his office, an. 889, and in his place the noble Beategravius was made by the good will of the Scholars, Redor and Chancellor of Oxford.' — But let the truth of this remain with the Author, for if we confider that the Laws were not in being in K. Alfred's time, nor many years after, as may be feen in the Annals or Hiftory, an. 1 149, and that alio Grymbald was not BJlhop of

Winchefter,

FASTI OXONIENSES. 5

Wincheder, which he confidently reports (2) in the faid Black book, there is no credit at all to be given to his obfervations.

Thefe two ancient Chancellors of the Univerfiry being thus produced, and faid to be before, it remains that we fliould enquire of their fuccelTors after, the Norman Conqueft, whether they arc known by the names or titles of Redors, or Chancellors, or Mafters of the Schools, or any other name whether general or peculiar, and tranfmit their almoll obliterate memories to Pofterity. For which end therefore I fhall do my endeavour by beating oi obfcure paths to obtain my defire, and give a fucceeding feries (though fometimes imperfeft) of our Fafti.

1122, or thereabouts, Chancellor or Redlor of the Schools Robertus Canutus, as in the Hiftory this year ; which office of Redtor being no other, as 1 fuppofe, than Chancellor, I fliall here fct him down as the firfl. Redor of Oxford, or of the Schools of exercife there, after the coming in of the Normans. He by the Name of Robertus Crickladenfis, Prior of the Mo- nallery of St. Fridefwyde in Oxford, did about this time (2) give to the Ab- bey of St. Mary of Cirencefter, in which he before had taken upon him the habit of a Canon Regular, his land in Cricklade.

1134, or thereabouts, Chanc. Robert Pulleyn as it feems. See in the Hillory this year.

1 1 50, or thereabouts, a Chancellor occurs under that title only, without a a name, as it appears from the Chirograph(3) of one Robert Folior, Redor of the Moyety of the Church of Rowlefliam or Roufeham in Oxfordfhire -, wherein 'tis faid, that the Chancellor of Oxford, with the Prior and Dean of Abendon, were delegated by the Pope to be judges of a controverfy con- cerning part of the tithes of the fi^id town, &c. Now in what time the faid R. Foliot lived, appears plainly froin another Chirograph (4) which fpeaks to this eftcft :

' Be it known to all Sec. that I Robert Foliot give to Ofney that land of my fee which lieth in the great ftreet in the borough of Oxford, in St. Michael's parifli at Northgate, held of me by Auflen, prielt, &c. in knowledge of which gift Wygot the Prior gave to me half an ounce of gold, and to my wife one mark, &c :' which Wygot being made Prior of Ofney, an. 1 138, and conti- nuing in that office till 1168, (in v/hich time Ofney from a Priory was made an Abbey) plainly fhcws the time of the faid Foliot. See this matter more at large in the Latin Copy.

1211. Chancellor or Reflor of the Schools Master Alardus, in the fame fenfe with Robert Canutus : the reafon of which I have told you in my Hiflory an. 1294. As for this Alardus I find mention of him to this effect in .an ancient writing (ij which I englifli thus : — ' Know ye as R. Prior of Ofney, and H. Dean of Oxford faith, that the controverfy which is between Hugh the Lord Abbot and Convent of Abendon on the one part, and Mailer Euftachius, Redlor of the Church of CeftertonCa) on the other, concerning certain tithes iffuing from the 40 acres which are fituated in Bru- erio de Celterton, (3) which JefFry St. Maure holdeth of the fee of William de Lega fenior, in Cefterton, was by the authority of Pope Innocent III, con- troverted in our prefence (Mr. Alardus Reftor of the Schools, our brother judge in this matter, fufficiently excufing himfelf by his letters) and brought to a final concord after this manner, &c.' At the end of the faid writing it is thus faid, ' This compofition was made before us in the Church of St. Mary in Oxford, on the morrow after the invention of the holy crofs, in the 13th year of the Pontificate of Innocent III, that is. An. Dom. 12 11.' Which, that it may be the better underftood, it muil: be fuppofed, that the faid Pope ordained upon this queftion of tithes three judges in England, namely, Mr. Alardus, Chancellor of the Univerfity, R. Prior of Ofney, and H. Dean of Oxenford ; but Alardus for fear of the Bifhop of Lincoln, his Diocefan, (then Hugh Wallys, who was too fevere and rigid toward the Academians) by whom perhaps he was no otherwife admitted to his office than by the name of Mafter of the Schools (though faluted in the Pope's bull the Reftor) refufing to appear in the faid caufe, and therefore excufed himfelf by his letters, the decifion of the whole matter was left to the faid two judges. And this I fuppofe was the true and likely caufe of the excufe, as from that which I have elfewhere delivered appears. To thefe matters I {hall add, that Robert Grofsteft who fucceeded the faid H. Wallys in the fee of Lyncoln, wrote one or two (4) Epiftles to Brother Alardus Provincial Prior of the preaching Fryars in England, and that alfo about the fame time Mr. Alardus, Subdean of Wells, (5) conveyed certain land in the parifh of St. Mildrid in Oxford (in which parifh he fometime living, or perhaps was born, was firnamed thence, as I elfewhere (6) find) to Thomas the fon of Wydo,

tut whether either of thefe two were the fame with this our Alardus, Redlor of the Schools, I cannot fafely determine.

Jul. this year The originals of which tranfaftions are, with their autographs, kept to this day in our Archives, and in certain Regifters or ftatute books of the Univer- fity, not only as a memory of that horrid fad, but to be made ufe of and taken out as occafion ferves. Among them is the firft compofition (that I have yet feen) made' between the Scholars and Burghers, efteemed a monu- ment of lo great an account by our predeceffors that they decreed the ori<»i. nal of It to be kept in the Treafuryof Lincoln Church, as the only x£;a,;°»u of the Univerfity. [See before in the Annals under this year,]

122 1. Chancellor under a general name, as from a papal bull (and the pro- cefs that thereupon followed) which partly runs under this form, appears (2) ' Honoruis Epilcopus, fervus fervorum Dei, dilertis fiJiis Archidiacono Wi- gorn. et Cancellano ct Decano Oxon. Lincoln. Diocef. Salutem et Apoftoli- cam benediflionem. Ex parte Abbatis et Conventus de Ofney, &c.' The Bull was for the defigning of the faid perfons therein mentioned, to be judges for the examination of certain witnefles concernino- the tithes be- longing to the monaftery of Ofney : ' dat. Lateran, 3 cal. Apr. an. pontif. 5 ' There is alfo another ancient writing (3) depending on it, wherein the faid Bull IS by way of infpeximus word for word recited, and what alfo the faid three judges aded in the caufe, and what witnefles they examined, and fuch like, under their feals, all done in St. Mary's Church in Oxford, on the mor- row after the octaves of the Apoftles St. Peter and St. Paul, an. 1221 • which IS the fifth year of P. Honorius III. Two other inftances of the lame kind, dated alfo at the fame time, I could produce (4) to prove this Chancellor under a general name, to have undergone that office this year but becaufe I aim as much as I can at brevity, I ihall omit them. However' what IS here and before faid, doth make much as well for the antiquity as dignity of the chief Magiltrate of the Univerfity, that he fliould be thus de- figned a judge by the Pope in caufes of fo great weight. Now if any think that the Chancellor here mentioned was not of the Univerfity but of the Bi- fhop of Lincoln, he or they do greatly err, for there never was any fuch per- fon of this place diftcrent from the Academical Chancellor, that had jurifdic- tion here. Neither do I find among the Muniments of the Univerfity any

mention of the Chancellor that had belonged to the Diocefan of Lincoln, at lead in that fente which ufed to be faid of William de Monte, an ancient Chancellor of Lincoln, thus ( i ) :

* Incipit hie noftri pulchriim numerale Magiftri Et Cancellarii Nicol (2) de monte Gulelmi.'

I now come to two eminent and famous Scholars of this Univerfity (al- THoft coetaneous) who from good right ought to obtain a place here, al- though when they bore the fal'ces^ of this fupreme magiftracy with us, I have as yet no certainty. One of them was St. Edmund, furnamed le Riche, whom Matthew Parys (3) ftiles ' Praeledlor in Theologia Oxoniali.' But whether he did undergo the office of Chancellor before or after the obtain- ing his Ledurelhip it doth not appear, or that he was Chancellor an. 1234, in which year he was declared Archbifhop of Canterbury (as in a certain old Catalogue of Chancellors is delivered) I fcarce think it credible. The other is Robert Grosstest, whom, though I find not in any ancient Catalogue of our Chancellors to occur, yet that he bore the office under that, or the title of Mafter of the Schools, I have manifeftly proved in my Hiftory, an. 1294. He became Bifliop of Lincoln 1235, and was fecond to none of his predeceflbrs or fucceffors either for learning or piety.

I'ajo. Chanc. under a general name.

Commiflary or Vicegerent Elyas de Daneis.

The faid namelefs Chancellor occurs in the Bull (4) of P. Gregory IX, direfted to him the faid Chancellor, the Abbot of Evefham, and Dean of Oxford, for the decifion of certain controverfies, concerning tithes between W. the parfon of Wdeton or Wood-Eaton in com. Oxon. and the Abbot and Convent of Malmfbury, dated at Perugia 4 cal. an. Pontif. 3. The Vicegerent occurs in the decifion (5) itfelf, for the Chancellor being abfent, or elfe waving that employment, it was performed by him and the Dean of Oxford, the principal judge of the matter, in All Saints Church, Oxon, on the Vigils of St. Peter and St. Paul, an. 1230.

But the faid Hare, who hath written the Catalogues (7) of the Chancellors of both the Univerfities, doth, for the refpedl to his Mother the Univerficy of Cambridge, infert St. Amphibalus as the firft Chancellor or Rector thereof an. Dom.289, with others following to the Norman Con- queft, from the authority of the Black book, and fuch like frivolous fluff.

But the Oxonian Epoch of Chancellors he begins with this Mr. Ralph, with no memory had of thofe either before, or after the Norman Conquell, to his time. Whether he places him as the firll in time, vvhicli he found among the records in the Tower of London, and no otherwile, I know not. How- ever chat he, and others of his opinion (if any fuch) are deceived, in placing, and fuppofing this Mr. Ralph to be the firft Chancellor of Oxford, (hall appear from that which follows. When the Bifhop of Lincoln did argue with this Chancellor (or at leaft his fuccefTor Ralph de Semplyngham) con- cerning the ufe of the feal, (whether public or j)rivate I know not) and thereupon a troubiefome queftion arofe between him and the Univerfity, Adam de Marifco wrote an EpiftJe (i) to the Bifliop about it. In which,

among other things, be pleafed to take notice of thele words following

' Signo illo quod dicitur Univerfitatis Oxon, quo in fimplicitatc fua ficut et plures antecefforum fuorum, ufus eft, de catero fi jufleritis nequaquam ufurus et ad'nutum beneplaciti veftri, fuo cedet officio, &c.' Thus Marifco ; but by the fequence of the words, it appears, lie contends not about the matter. It feems it hath not been doubtful to any Oxonian and ( I believe) others, but that feveral predeceflbrs of this Chancellor ufed feals, and to me it plainly appears, that he neither innovated any thing in his fcal, or ufed another or the form of another, but only that which his Antcccflbrs in the fame office ufed. And yet notwithftandingfrom this Chancellor, as from the firft of all, the faid Hare did begin his Catalogue of them for the Univerfity of Oxford. This year alfo a Chancellor under a general name occurs in a certain fcript (2) dat. on the Vigils of S. Bartholomew the Apoftle, whereby he, the Archdeacon of Worcefter, and Dean of Oxford, were deputed judges concerning the compofing of a difference between Ofney and E. Reitor of Horfpath near Oxford concerning the leflcr tithes thereof, &c.

123:;, or thereabouts. Chancellor Mr. Ralph Cole, the fame perhaps with Mr.Ralph, Archdeacon of Chefter in the year 1231. The mention that I find of him is only as a Wicnefs to a certain Charter (3) whereby Sir Vivian de Bray, or the fon of Ralph, gave to Ofney his land joining on the weft fide of the church-yard of St. Peter in theEaft; which land did fome- time belong to John of Oxford, Bifliop of Norwich. I'he names of the witneffes that follow aftet the faid Charter are Peter the fon of Thorald, Mayor of Oxford, Rob.

1244. Chanc. Simon de Bovill again, as in a compofuion (4} between the K. and the Univerfity, concerning the Chancellor's cognizance of Pleas in contracfls of moveable things. To which are the feals of the faid Simon, Thomas, Archdeacon of Lincoln, John, Archdeacon of Cornwall, and Fryer John de Bacun, After him I find feveral Chancellors under general names, which I fhall now omit, and proceed to thofe that are under their own.

Mr. Gilb. de Biham, Chancellor of Oxford, fendeth greeting in the Lord : Know ye, that I, in the year of Grace, 1246, at the Feaft of St. Nicholas, have re- ceived of the Canons of Ofney two marks from the church of Fulnell, to be diftributed among the poor Scholars of Oxford, according to the Ordination of Robert, Lord Bifliop of Lyncoln, &c.'

whether it be the fame Ralph, that we have put down for Chancellor, I know not.

1253. Chanc. Mr. Ralph de Semprincham, as from part of certain annals ( i) going thus is teftified. ' Anno mccliii, &c.' ' In the year 1253, on the leventh of the Ides of Febr. died William dc Manchefter, Archdea- con of Lichfield, to whom fucceeded Ralph de Sempryngham, Theologift, Chancellor of Oxon.' And in another place I find mention of the faid per- fon thus — ' Eodem anno, &c.' ' In the fame year (1254) in the month of Fcbr. Mr. Ralph de Sempryngham was elected Dean of Lichfield church by the Canons thereof, and afterwards confirmed by the Lord Roger de Wcfe- ham, Bifhop of Lichfield.' He died 1260; about which time he founded the Chantry of St. Andrew, in the Cathedral Church of Lichfield, valued yearly to be worth 5I. In the Epift!es(2) of Robert Grofsteft, I find one written, before he was made Biihop of Lincoln, to Fryer Agnell, ihe Mini- fter of the iVlinoritics of Oxford, and to R. Archdeacon of Leicefter ; which R. whether he be the fame with this Ralph I know not.

1255. Chanc. Mr. William de LoDELAWHE, as in a certain Charter, (3) whereby Gilbert the Abbot and Convent of Einfham, did grant to the Prior of Schyreburne, in the Diocefe of Winchefter, all their right in an houfe in St. Peter's parirti in the Eaft in Oxford, which was belongmgfome- time to Mr. William de Drochedathe, &c. The Charter is dated this year, on the tuefday after Qiiali modo geniti, and witnefled, befides this Chan- cellor, by Mr. Giles de Brudeport, Archdeacon of Berkfhire, Adam Fete- place, Mayor of Oxford, and others.

1256, or thereabouts, Chanc. Mr. Richard de Sancta Agatha, of whom I find mention in an Epiftle to him, (4) written by Fryer Adam de Marifco ; wherein the faid Adam defireth him to promote the petition of Mr. Simon de Valencinis or Valentiis, Canon of Lincoln, to borrow 40I. of the money of Mr. William of Durham, kept in the hands of the Chancellor, Prodlors and Mafters. And 'tis probable, that he being thus courted by Marifco, might about this time either bear the Office of Chancellor or Com- miflary. One Mr. Robert de S. Agatha I find witnefs (5) about this time to divers evidences, his name being in the firft place, and fet before that of the Mayor of Oxford. Whether he was Chancellor I know not ; fure I am that he was Archdeacon of Durham, and, if I am not millaken, fucceeded Mr. William, an. 1249.

1262. Chanc. Mr. Thomas de Cantelupo, as it appears in acertain writ- ing (6) of the Abbot and Convent of Ofney, concerning the habitation of the brethren called Penetentiarians, or de Penetentia Jelu, made this year.

1263. Chanc. the fame Thomas de Cantelupo, as it feems, who about this time was (as 'tis reported') Dod'tor of the Canon Law. In the year 1265 he was made Lord Chancellor of England ; but that office he held but a fliort time. Afterwards he retired to Oxon, and lived there feveral years. Of this Chancellor you may be pleafed to read thefe things following from a certain author, (i) — ' l^nde ad Univerfitatem Oxonie primo, poftmodum Parifiis fc transferens, rationalem fcientiam aggreditur, et philoiophie fecreta rimatur, Magillralem Cathedram afcendens. Oxoniam demum rediens. Juris Ca- nonici Dodlor et CancellariusUniverfitatis efficitur: in quo quidem officio in caufarum difcuffionibus prudens inveftigator extitit, in judicio juftus, in fententiis proferendis difcretus, in omni adlione compofitus, et morum ho- neftate preclarus, &c.' Thus the faid Author, agreeing verbatim with ano- ther, (2) which hath this title, or thefe words following, written in the begin- ning of his book — ' Explicit fecunda pars in tertio volumine Legendarum collectarum per Fratrem Petrum de Calo de Calgia ordinis Pr£edicatorum.' But the aforefaid author, Capgrave, addeth, that he, when K. Hen. Ill was dead, returned to Oxford, and was created D. of Div. under Rob. Kilwarby, that was afterwards Archbifliop of Canterbury, and in the year 1275 was cpnfecrated Bifhop of Hereford, and after his death canonized by the Pope. But before he was created, he did, according to the manner, ftudy while he was young at Paris, under the tuition and fpecial benetaftion of John Peck- ham, afterwards Archbifhop of Canterbtny, as in certain letters of that Archbinaop, (3) written an. 1281 to the Bifliop of London, appears : For at that time he was by him pronounced excommunicated. After the death of the faid Thomas de Cantelupo, which was at Civita Vecchia in Italy, an. 1282, his body was carried to Hereford, but his heart to the Monaftery of Aflirugg in Bucks, where by the care and coft of Edmund, Earl of Corn- wall, Founder thereof, it was repofed in a tomb of admirable workmanffiip on the north fide of the choir, and afterwards had in very great veneration. By which tomb or near it the faid Earl was afterward buried.

Chancellor Mr. Henry de Cicestre, as in an in- dented Chyrograph (4) between him and the Univefity on the one part, and Rob. de Stanton on the other, concerning the demifing of a tenement to the faid Rob. in St. Giles' parifh in the fuburbs of Oxon.

In a certain charter, (3) dated on Monday next going be- fore the feaft of S. Matthias the Apollle, 51 Hen. Ilf, Dom. 1266, 1 find that one Jacob, the fon of Mr. Mofey, a Jew of London, by Henna his wife, conveyed to Walter de Merlon, fometime Chancellor to the King, his houfcs in St. John Baptift's Parilli in Oxford, for the building of an Hall or Col- lege for his Scholars, that he had lately fettled at Meandon in Surrey. But becaiife Mr. Antony Beke, and his brother Thomas Beke did then live and abide in the fuid houi'es he therefore made this condition with the faid W, de Merton, that lie (hould fufFer the faid Antony and Thomas to inhabit in the faid houfcs from the feaft of St. Michat-l foilowing 'till three years after were expired, by paying to his Warden and Scholars that he was then about to fettle in thofc, and other houfcs adjoining, an hundred {hillings yearly. This is the effect of the Charter-, and I thought fit to mention it, becaufe the faid Antony (Ifilcd in the Charter Dominus Antonius Beke) and Tho- mas his brother were then fludents in the faid houfes, and that the former was afterwards Bifliop of Durham, and the other Chancellor of this Univer- fity (as before 'tis told you) afterward Treafurer of England, and at lengthy being very old, became Bifliop of Lincoln an. 1319.

For in thefe times, and fince, it was an ufual cuftom for the Burghers of Oxford, to prefent the Chancellor with gifts, efpecially at his entrance into his office, as from divers places is evident.

Mr. Euftachius de Normanvyle, Prater minor, Mr. John le Noble, Mr. Roger de Barthone, &c. by which it appears that then he v/as a Minorite or Francifcan. About this time, (for the particular year appeareth not) John de Pontisara, who was Bifliop of Wynchefter, an. 1280, is reported to have borne the office of Chancellor of our Univerfity ; but whether true or nor, I cannot yet find ; fure I am, that a little before his death he fliewed himfelf a worthy Bene- factor by giving (2) them a cheft with 200 marks therein (called afterwards Winchelter Chett) for the relief of poor Scholars. In perpetual memory of which, and for the health of his foul, the Mafters decreed, that a folemn anniverfary fhould be performed for him on the Vigils of St. Nicholas.

(11) The faid Rothweil (12) occurs Chancellor 2 Id.

Either therefore no Chancellor ought to come between Kingf- fote and Monemuta, or elfe the faid Chancellor (Ludlaw) muft be fuppuled to have borne his office in a fmall interval of time.

Cancellarius, nee ejus Vicem gerens Procanceilarius, fed CommifTarius dein-

ceps vuigo diftus Cn." (i) Thus he, as if that office fliould only belong

to a Theologifl-, and not a Decretift, which the Statutes of the UniveiTity per- mit ; or as if that Magiftrate was not known or heard of among us by the name of Chancellor, who either dying or refigning, he that was next accord- ing to feniority, was called Cancellarius natusj his Com miflary alio being appointed by him the faid Chancellor, and not the Bifhop of Lincoln. No wonder therefore it is that the faid Antiquary is fo blind in the affairs of Oxford, when in thofe of his own Univerfity he is fo quick-fighted. That alfo he is fo ignorant of the difference between the Chancellor of this Uni- verfity may eafily be underftood from his own words, (2) which he hath of the chief Magiftrate of the Univerfity of Cambridge. — ' Huic Academia^ qui prsfuit (faith he) ad multa fecula Redor dicebatur : poftea Cancella- rius, noftra fetate Vicecancellarius, et Procanceilarius appellatus eft, Vicarius Cancellarii, de quo poftea fufius, nam Cancellarius hodie privatus homo non eft Academia;, ut olim, fed ex Magnatibus aliquis, qui favet Uteris, cujus

Jocojam prasficitur Procailcellarius, &c.' From whence we cannot but

fee, how he doth confound together the Chancellor and Vicechancellor, or Prochancellor, when in the nic-an time he omits the ancient word Commif- fary, which fo often occurs in the books and muniments of each Uni- verfity.

Upon v/hat account the faid Harcla is reputed a Benefac- tor to the Univerfity, I as yet fcarce know, unlefs it was for his zeal in obtaining divers privileges for the Univerfity.

1 3 14. Chanc. the fame. In the beginning of this year in the month of April (as it feems) the office of Chancellor of this Univerfity being then or fuddenly to be void, the Bifliop of Lincoln (5) lent out his letters under a grievous anathema dat. 4 nones of April, that none either as Cancellarius natus, or otherwife, exercife the jurifdicStion of Chancellor in the Univerfity until fome perfon was admitted to that office by him. The reafon why, he tells us not in thofe letters ; and whether they at prefent were obeyed by the Academians is doubtful, becaufe in the refcript of Edw. II, concerning the confiimation of the privileges of the Univerfity of Oxford, dat. March 11 following (an. 8 Reg.) is direft mention of Henry de Harcla, then Chan- cellor of the faid Univerfity. And whether that inhibition of the Diocefan was in following years obferved, efpecially as to the eledtion of the Chan- cellor, feemeth not to be from one or two (6) flatutes concerning elections, publiihed by the Academians on the feaft of St. Gregory, an. 144^ In which mention being made of the fenior Theologift, we muft underftand him to be no other perfon than Cancellarius natus ; who according to the ancient cuftom of the Univerfity, is to govern it when the Chancellorlhip is void, deduced and brought down even to the days of our grandfathers.

What rcmaineth to be fpoken in his praife (which occurs in a certain Epiftle (3) of the Uni- verfity to the Archbifliop of York, [Wolfey] about the year y^\^) I fhall here infert : — ' habucrunt noftri majores Ibos Mecenates, tibi tamen longe impares, nee confcrendos, ut reverendum Leyceltnse friorem ( meaning Ph. de Repingdon) et prjeclarum Robertum Stratford Cantuarienfem Archi- diaconum, qui valentes plurimum apud fuos augurtos, fue memores altri- cis matris, earn quam plurimis decorarunt ornamentis et prieclaris accumu- larunt bcneficiis, &c.' Thus the Univerfity ; and without doubt he defcrved the faid commendation, as certain Chancellors in fome other refpeds did, namely, Tho. Gas6oign and Henry. Sever, for the Icholaftic dilcipline which they encouraged and prongoted. Furthermore, as for thjs Chancellor, he, by reafon of the troublerome'faiiioris between the fouthern and northern fcholars, did for the reformation of them (as is by one (4) reported) appoint one of tjie Proftors to be" always a Southern and the other a Northern man.

Of what houfe the fenior Prodlor was, I find not, neither alfo of what the junior, when he bore his office, he having been of three Societies fuccef- fively, viz. of Exeter, Univerfity, and Merton.

1380. Chanc. Mr. Will. Berton, and not Pro-chancellor, as (7) one that often confounds and miflakes the titles of the Magiflrates of the Uni- verfity delivercth. He, this year. Oft. 2, obtained the King's breve (8) for the repairing the pavement of the Streets of Oxford. A great enemy he was to Wycleve, and his diiciples, as well in his writings as government of the Univerfity ; who, if not by his vigilancy their career had been flopt, would have contrafted greater force and authority.

afmuch as he feemed now to favour Wycleve and his difciples^ Mr. Robert RuGOE before mentioned fucc eded either about the latter end of May or beginning of June. He is the fame, whotn ( 1 ) Fox in treating of the articles of Wycleve, (tiles Ryggeus, and after his manner, as I have before ob- ferved, calls him Chancellor, then Comnnliary^ Pro-chancellor and Vice- chancellor. However it is, he by the name of ' Robert Rygge Chancellor of the Univerfity of Oxon,' was confl:itut*?d (2) with John Lovell, Hugh Segrave and Robert Trefilian, Juftices of the peace for the county of Ox- ford this year. Befides thefc two Chancellors authors tell us of two more this year, and thofe are, firft, Nicholas Hertford (now or lately Fellow of Queen's College) as Walfingham (j) fajch, but how it can be, I underftand not, for at that time when the faid Nicholas, upon aci^ount of declaring his opinions, preached (4) at St. Fridefwide's Crols in Uxford, May 15 this year, being then Afcenfion day, Mr. Robert Rugge was Chancellor (ihe chief part of the fermon itfelf, which he delivered, entitulcd ' Sermo Mri Nicholai Hereford, S. T. Profelli contra omnes flatus et gracus Ecclcfiaflicos,* be- ing examined and pronounced the fame which he preached by a Public Notary, as his name to it teltifieth) and therefore if ib be the faid Nicholas did bear that office, it was but a few days before that of the Afcenfion, be- caufe the Chancellors were in ihefe times cholen according to the ffatute be- fore recited, ' in feria tenia ante Pentecofttn :' Furthermore alfo, 'tis not likely, that after the faid fermon was delivered, he fhould bear that ofHce, becaule that for his opinions fo declared he was cenlured, imprifoned and perfeiuted. The other Chancellor was, as the faid Fox (5) conjeftureth, William Rugge; but of him I know nothing, being the fame, without doubt, with Robert Rugge before mentioned. Thus you have in one year's fpace,four Chancellors, if the authors who report the two laft, may be believed. How- ever it is, fo great was the difference in opinions, diverfuy in preaching, and change of Governors of the Univerfity about tht-fe times, that it gave occa- fion, without doubt, to an acute Sophifter (6) now or lately ftudying in Ox- ford, to argue in his fophifms thus — ' Cras Cancellanus prtedicabit ; ergo qui eft Cancellarius, vel qui cras erit Cancellarius, prsedicabit &c.'

There is alio to be feen the like Compo- fition for the exoneration of Magdalen College, made long after this time, whether as a College or Hofpital, becaufe founded upon the fite of that of St, John Bapt. Thele and fuch like Compofitions are thofe mentioned in the great Charter (9) of K. H. VIII, dat. April i, an. reg. 14, wherein that King, fpeaking of the manner of taxing the Parifhes for tenths and fifteenths to the King by the Chancellor and Mayor together, and not feverally, faith, that they fhall have power, ' allidcndi ec taxandi quamcunque parochiam in villa predida et I'uburbiis ejufdem, juxta et fecundum quantitatem integram dide ville et fuburbiorum ejufdem, taxatam, limitatam, et affenfam in/cac- cario noftro, ad hujufmodi quijtamdecimam et decimam folvend. dedudtis et deducendis omnibus et fingulis allocacionibus et folucionibus que folvi et allocari debent in parte folucionis vel allocacionis hujufmodi quintedecime et decime, ratione aliquarum compoficionum vel convencionum inter aliqua collegia five alia loca quecunque infra villam et fuburbia predifta, five inter aliqua alia loca extra villam et fuburbia ejufdem ex una parte, et M.ijorem, Aldermannos, Ballivos, et Burgenfes ville difte ex altera parte fad. five fiend. &c.' The meaning of which words 'juxta quantitatem integram,' is, that this money for tenths and fifteenths fhould be railed according to the rate, wherewith the Town of Oxford is burdened in the book of his Majefty's Exchequer, and what that is, is well known.

Dr. Tho- mas Gascoigne, (5) the one occurring by that title the fecond, and the other the thirteenth of March this year. In the mean time the Univerfity (6) fol- licited Mr. Richard Praty, Bifhop of Chichefter (Ibmetime an Oxford Stu- dent) that he would be plealed to take upon him the Office of Chancellor; but he refufing ir, the faid Dr. Gascoigne was ele(fted(7) the 14th of the faid month by the unanimous confcnt of all Dodors and Mafters concerned in the intrinfic eledion of the Chancellor. As for the form of that and cer- tain other ele<5lions in thefe times were thus : Four Mafters in each faculty (called in fuch affairs by the names fometimes of Doftors) were by the Chancellor or CommifTary and Proflors admitted into the public Aflembly ; and being fo done, they for the eledion of two Aftantes or Inftantesdid take the votes of all Non Regent Mafters by fcrutiny, three proclamations by the Beadle being in that time made, of which one was to alter or change (if any Mafter whom before he had named pleafed) which two Inftantes, after they were eledted and lawfully admitted by the Chancellor and Prodors, they named four other Mafters for the intrinfic election ; which being finiftied, the faid Aftantes and the four Mafters receded into fome private place (fuppofc in one of the Chapels of St. Mary's Church} where the Chancellor and Prodors fearching into the votes, one after another, did at length pronounce him ele6led, to whom they found moft fuffrages given. And fo after the fame manner was Dr. Gascoigne (defcended of a worfhipful family, fon and heir of Richard Gafcoigne, Lord of the Manor of Hunsfleet in Yorkfliire) cle(5ted Chancellor.

Afterward he enjoyed that office for a certain time as one not eleded, becaufe that then he had not taken his oath ; for having liberty given to him to deliberate whether he would take the office upon him, governed only as Cancellarius natus. In the mean time the Univerfity, who doubted that he would not take the Chancellorfhip upon him, they by their letters, wherein they much extol him, trouble the King (6) with the matter, fignifying farther that he would be pleafed to be an inftrument for, or elfe command, him ta take the office on him-, but what fuccefs the faid letters wrought I know nor. However not long after, he took his oath and accepted of it, and be. ing in the interval fometime abfent, or in private receded, Robert Bur- ton, D.

Seeing therefore that Chaundler was Chancellor of the Univerfity, as from record is manifeft, Baleus (8) from Leland is deceived in his report, that he was only Commiffary or Prochancellor. As for the Author Dr. Mar- ten, here quoted [below], who faith that Dr. Chaundler was created Do6tor by Thomas Gafcoigne, it muft not be underftood that Gafcoigne was then public Profeflbr of Divinity, or held that chair, but only that he was Chancellor ; for as Gafcoigne faith (9) of himfelf, he, while he was Chancellor, created 35 Dofbors of , Divinity.
