A brief historical description of Sir William

 found in the second volume of Sutherland's 

 Knights of Malta, p. 115., which appears to be a 

 correct translation from Vertot's History of the 

 Order. — Vide " N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 629. ; and 

 Vertot, lib. 10. 



Wyhtt, Sir Rowland - - - . 1528

This knight was a Turcopolier, and never placed 

 his signature to a document without writing im- 

 mediately above it " As God wills." 



Wise, Andrew 1593 



Nominally Prior of England in 1598. Being re- 

 duced to the greatest extremity, the Roman 

 Pontiff decreed that tlie language of Castile and 

 Leon should allow him out of its revenue a 

 thousand ducats a-year. The Spanish knights 

 objecting to pay this sum, there was a trial 

 before the Grand Master to enforce it; a report 

 of which is now in the Record Office. The 

 Pope's decree was confirmed.
