A universal chronicle, ‘_Flores temporum seu chronicon universale ab urbe condita ad annum 1349_,’ is sometimes attributed to him; Leland, e.g. says: ‘Catalogus quoque Franciscanorum scriptorum Chronicorum Alaunovicani meminit’ (Tanner, Bibl. 515). See also MS. Arundel 371 (sec. xv). This is the chronicle of Hermann Gigas based on the well-known chronicle of Martinus Polonus (printed 1750). In the preface Hermann says that he has followed, ‘inter modernos, Martinum Romane sedis penitenciarium (?) de ordine fratrum predicatorum’ (Ar. MS. 371, f. 2). Several philosophical treatises by _Martinus Anglicus_ are extant in MS. Vienna:--Bibl. Palat. 4698 (sec. xiv). 33. =Robert of Beverley.= 34. =Richard de Coniton= or =Conyngton= (co. Cambridge or Huntingdon) was at Oxford in 1300 and was one of the friars to whom the Bishop of Lincoln refused the right to hear confessions[1113]. He became D.D. and lecturer to the Franciscans between 1300 and 1310. He was afterwards thirty-first master of the Minorites at Cambridge[1114]. He was sixteenth Provincial of England, and held the office in 1310[1115]. About this time the Order was disturbed by the violent antagonism of the two parties within it--the ‘Community,’ the lax or moderate party which comprised the majority and included the official heads of the Order, and the strict or ‘Spiritual’ party. A papal investigation into the causes of dispute and into the observance of Rule by the Order was instituted, and the leaders of each party summoned to the Curia. Richard Conyngton as Provincial was the official representative of the English Franciscans at Avignon and Vienne (1301-1313)[1116]. He was buried at Cambridge[1117]. He is said by Leland and Bale to have written a treatise _De Christi Dominio_ against Ockham in defence of the papal authority[1118]. Wadding states that he had seen Richard’s _Commentary on the Sentences_ in the Vatican[1119]. Bale mentions his exposition on the seven penitential psalms, _ex monasterio Nordovicensi_[1120]. _Tractatus Magistri Richardi Conygton Ministri Angliae de paupertate contra opiniones Fratris Petri Joannis (Olivi)._ _Inc._ ‘Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem. Ps. Praecedit actus meritorius.’ MS. Florence:--Laurentiana, _ex Bibl. S. Crucis_, Plut. XXXVI, Dext. Cod. xii (sec. xiv _exeuntis_). 35. =Thomas of Pontefract= was at Oxford in 1300; when the bishop of Lincoln refused to grant him license to hear confessions. He became D.D. and lecturer in theology some years after this. In July 1311 he was one of the inquisitors appointed to extort confession of heresy from twenty-four Templars in the Province of York[1121]. 36. =Peter de Sutton=; ‘jacet Stanfordiae,’ i.e. Stamford, co. Lincoln[1122]. 37. =Ralph of Lockysley=[1123] or =Lockeleye=[1124] was regent master at Oxford about 1310. He was buried at Worcester[1125]. According to Bale (I, 366) he wrote _De paupertate evangelica_, &c.
