‘pro vestris muneribus preciosis, cultellis vestris videlicet nobilibus de corallo atque insigni vase tiriaco, que in octavis virginis gloriose per manus dilecti et domestici nostri fratris Johannis Rossel ... recepimus.... Dat’ in manerio nostro de B. (Beckley?)[1411] prope Oxon’,’ &c. Russell wrote about the same time to _dominus_ R. de M. (Roger de Merlawe): ‘Veni ad capitulum fratrum nostrorum Oxon’, proponens vos personaliter visitasse; sed jam istud iter impedivit debilitas corporalis[1412].’ This John Russell was contemporary, and probably identical, with the twenty-second master of the Franciscans at Cambridge[1413]. _Postilla in Cantica Canticorum._ _Inc._ ‘Cogitanti mihi Canticum.’ MS. London:--Lambeth Palace, 180, f. 1 (sec. xv). _Lectura super Apocalypsim._ _Inc._ ‘Statuit septem piramides.... Accedens ad expositionem.’ MS. Oxford:--Merton Coll. 172, fol. 106 (sec. xiv), manu Will. de Nottingham. _De potestate imperatoris et pape._ Formerly in the King’s Library, according to Bale (MS. Seld. supra 64, fol. 163b, 193): it is not mentioned in Casley’s Catalogue. =Henry de Sutton= was warden of the Grey Friars, London, in 1302[1414], and 1307, when the King (Edward I) gave him 40 marks ‘pro pitancia fratrum Minorum in capitulo suo generali celebrando apud Tolosam in festo Pentecost proximo[1415].’ He procured a legacy of 2 marks annually from Henry Waleys, Mayor of London, for his convent[1416]. The evidence of his connexion with Oxford is very slight. His name occurs as the author of a sermon in a collection of sermons which were probably delivered at Oxford at the end of the thirteenth century[1417]. =William Mincy=, =William de Newport=, =Roger de Barton= (Cheshire), =Robert de Gaddestyn= or =Gaddesby=, =John de Westburg=, =Robert de Mogynton= (Derby), Franciscans at Oxford in 1300, were on the 26th of July in that year presented at Dorchester by Hugh of Hertepol the Provincial, and licensed by Dalderby, Bishop of Lincoln, to hear confessions, grant absolution, and enjoin penances, in the Archdeaconry of Oxford. They were not at this time, and probably never became, doctors of divinity[1418]. =John de Stapleton=, A. D. 1300, was similarly presented by the Provincial, but rejected by the Bishop. The Register of the Friars Minors at London says: ‘Friar John de Stapilton, heir to great wealth and lordship, spurning wife and heritage, became a Friar Minor.’ It is doubtful whether this refers to the same person[1419]. =Adam de Corf=, =Peter de Todworth=, =Walter Bosevile=, and =Roger de Alnewyck=, were in like manner presented by the Provincial and rejected by the Bishop, A. D. 1300. They were not at this time D.D’s. Nothing further is known of them, unless Roger de Alnewyck is to be identified with William of Alnwick, 42nd reader at Oxford[1420].
