The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
In April 1513, as B.D., he obtained grace to proceed to D.D., stating that
he had studied for eighteen years. In June his composition was reduced by
four nobles (= 26_s._ 8_d._), on condition
‘that he will tell no one except those whom it concerns.’
He incepted on July 4, 1513, paying £5 8{s}. 8{d}[1758]. At the time of
the dissolution he was warden of the Grey Friars at Richmond in
Yorkshire[1759].
=John Brakell= obtained grace to oppose and proceed to the B.D. degree on
Jan. 27, 1510/1, after studying for fourteen years[1760].
=John Brown=, having studied for twelve years, supplicated for B.D. on
Jan. 22, 1510/1; he obtained the Chancellor’s license Nov. 19, 1512. In
June 1513, he supplicated as B.D. for D.D., after eighteen years’ study.
The grace was conceded
‘sic quod semel predicet in ecclesia B. M. V. infra annum, et non
utatur aliqua gratia generali vel speciali pro sua necessaria regentia
infra annum.’
The second condition was afterwards deleted. Brown incepted on Feb. 20,
1513/4, his composition being reduced by five marcs[1761]. On July 6,
1513, he appeared in the Chancellor’s Court as witness of the indenture
between Dr. Goodfield, ex-warden, and Richard Leke[1762].
=John Smyth= was admitted to oppose in June 1511, after studying for
fourteen years, and to the degree of B.D. in Dec. 1512. Six months later
he was licensed in theology, and allowed to incept as having studied for
eighteen years, with one responsion in the new schools and two sermons _in
diebus Parasceues_ at the Friars Minors. At his inception he paid £6
13_s._ 4_d._ He was dispensed from his necessary regency
‘quia est gardianus alicujus loci et sunt ei magna negotia’[1763].
=Harmon=, friar, who was admitted to oppose on Jan. 26, 1511/2, is perhaps
identical with ‘Friar Simondez Harm,’ lector of the Grey Friars of
Leicester in 1538[1764].
=Gilbert Sawnders=, after sixteen years’ study, was admitted to oppose in
Nov. 1511, provided
‘he said the mass _de Spiritu Sancto_ five times for the good estate
of the regents, and preached _in propria persona_ at St. Mary’s before
Easter.’
In 1512 he was appointed to preach the sermon on Ash Wednesday[1765]. On
April 13, 1513, he supplicated for D.D. In May he asked that 40_s._ might
be deducted from his composition; he was allowed to deduct 20_s._; this
was afterwards increased to four nobles,
‘et nemini revelabit nisi quarum interest.’
He incepted on July 4, and paid £4 6_s._ 8_d._ In the following November
he was dispensed from his necessary regency, and in Feb., 1514, from a
sermon[1766]. He died on July 16, 1533, and was buried in the Chapel of
All Saints at the Grey Friars, London[1767].
=John Sanderson=, B.D., supplicated for D.D. on Dec. 14, 1512, having
studied for sixteen years,
‘cum oppositione et responsione (?) in novis scolis et responsione in
capitulo (?) generali cum introitu biblie’[1768].
