1 J oan de Barr was the daughter of Henry, Earl of Barr, and granddaughter 

 of Henry III. by his daughter Eleanor. She was the first wife of John de 

 "Warren, Earl of Surrey. Her husband was divorced from her, and excom- 

 municated by the Bishop of Chichester for his conjugal infidelity, in 1317. It 

 would appear that after his death she claimed, but without success, to exercise 

 the right, which belonged to him through his second marriage, of presenting to 

 the living of Trowbridge. 



2 Among the first acts of Edward III. was the granting, in reversion, the 

 Castle and Manor of Trowbridge to William, Earl of Salisbury, which "John 

 Earl of Surrey and Joan his wife held for the term of their lives." Subsequently 

 however Alice Lacy, then the wife of Ebulo le Strange, obtained a restitution 

 of the Manor, which had originally belonged to her, and it afterwards descended 

 to her first husband's representatives. 



3 The appointment of this Rector is implied in the subsequent entry concerning 

 his successor. The Bishop's registers are wanting from 1366 to 1375.
