“O hughe of Lincolne sleyne also, &c.” You saye, that in the 29.
H. 3. eightene Jewes were broughte fro{m} Lincolne, and hanged

[in] the 39. H. 3. so that yo{u} mighte verye well haue sayed,
that the same childe of eighte yeres olde was the same hughe of
Lincolne; of whiche name there were twoe, viz. thys younger
Seinte Hughe, and Seinte Hughe bishoppe of Lincolne, whiche dyed
