recluses in the city [of Rome] of each 
sex, and among other persons deserving 
of pity, and among the sacred places, in 
the currency of those parts, the true and 
exact sum of 100s., which sum I desire 
may be given and handed over to him 
for that purpose in addition to the £20 
aforesaid. And if Sir Richard Syvet,* 
lately Vicar of the Church of the Blessed 
Mary at Marlborough, would like to 
take this duty on himself, I wish that 
he alone may discharge it in preference 
to anyone else, and that he may also 
have four marks besides the £20 before 
mentioned. But if before the monies 
disbursed for such purpose be spent 
Richard himself, or any chaplain so ap- 
pointed, should die, I desire that as re- 
gards the residue of monies not yet ex- 
pended in the above-mentioned manner,

The following was kindly communicated to me’by Mr. Milburn, 
women, to give lands, tenements, and rents, to. the yearly value of ten pounds, 
to the Prior and Canons of the House of St. Margaret’s without Marlebergh, 
which is of the Order of Sempyngham, and of the foundation of the King’s 
‘progenitors, and in his patronage, the King therefore gives licence to Thomas 
Calston, Robert Grafton, parson of the Church of Mildenhale, Richard Synet, 
Chaplain, and John Grene, Chaplain, to give and assign two messuages, two

shillings of rent with appurtences in Yatesbury, Evesbury [Enesbury ?] and 
‘Elcot, which are not held of the King in chief, and which are worth yearly 
53s. 44. as found by Inquisition taken before John Bryd, late Escheator in 
Co. Wilts, to the said Prior and Canons; to hold at the value of five marks

_ The above-mentioned Richard Synet must have been the same person as the 
“Vicar of 8S. Mary’s, whom the testator wished to go to Rome on his behalf. 
ir Thomas Phillips spells his name Syvet, the Patent Roll Synet. The 
elling in the will is not conclusive. He held that living from 1384 to 1414. 
‘He was also Prior or Chaplain of S. John’s Hospital in Marlborough, which was 
in the parish of S. Mary’s, and resigned 1417. 
Robert Grafton was Rector of Mildenhall from 1408 till his death in 1420,
