His pontifical years as archbishop are dated from 7 Oct. 1407. These letters were doubtless copied into the register during 1409, which accounts for the error in date here and in the notice for the visitation of Healaugh park below. For Sunday, 23 June: see above. The archbishop had possibly timed his visit to Sawley for 9 June, but took two days at Bolton priory instead. |
