The Grey Friars in Oxford

Franciscans -- Great Britain
=Edmund Bricott=, =Brycoote=, or =Brygott=, born about 1495[1836],
supplicated for B.D. in Jan. or Feb. 1525/6, having studied ten years
‘here and at Paris.’ He was admitted to oppose on June 13, and became B.D.
on June 28. In Jan. 1527/8, he obtained grace to incept after fourteen
years of study. He was licensed in Feb. 1529/30. In June he obtained a
reduction of his composition to £5 on the score of poverty, and a
dispensation (in advance) from his necessary regency, because he was
warden of some house of Minorites. He incepted in July, 1530[1837]. He was
warden of Lynn at the Dissolution[1838]. Like so many others, he seems to
have gone with the times; he held the living of Thorley, Herts., from 1545
to 1562; was collated to the rectory of Wiley, Essex, in 1547, to that of
Hadham, Herts, in 1548; and became Prebendary of St. Paul’s in 1554. He
probably died in 1562[1839].
=Thomas Knottis= was admitted B.D. in May, 1527. He may be the same as the
Thomas Knott who supplicated for B.A. in 1522; if so, he became a
Franciscan after that date[1840].
=Anthony Papudo=, of Portugal, was admitted to oppose in June, 1526, and
B.D. in May, 1527[1841].
=William Walker= supplicated for B.D., June 3, 1527, after studying
fourteen years. The grace was conceded on condition
‘that he will read the Epistles of St. Paul to the Ephesians and the
Galatians in his house’ (_in edibus suis_, i.e. the Franciscan
Convent)[1842].
=Robert Knowlys= supplicated for B.D. in Jan. 1526/7[1843]. In Oct., 1529,
as B.D., he obtained grace to incept, after eighteen years’ study,
sic quod procedat in proximo actu, et legat 2{m} et 3{um} Scoti super
sententias in Domo sua, et faciat sermonem latinum in templo Dive
Virginis intra annum post gradum susceptum, et alium etiam intra annum
anglice intra universitatem[1844].
His composition was reduced to £5, owing to his poverty (June 22, 1530).
He was dispensed from his necessary regency,
‘because he was lecturing in some house of the Order of Friars Minors’
(June 28, 1530).
He incepted D.D. in July, 1530[1845].
=John Arture= kept a horse in Oxford in 1528[1846]. In May, 1533, he
supplicated for B.D., after fourteen years of study; he was to preach,
before Christmas, a sermon at St. Mary’s,
‘another from the pulpit (_e suggestu_) of St. Paul’s London, and
another _e pulpito_ at Westminster[1847].’
