  • 170. His dates are uncertain; perhaps 1431–1437.
  • 171. Occurs as Minister in a list of rectors of provinces in 1438. (Wadding, Annales, xi., 49.) Thomas was provincial minister in 1449. (P.R.O., Conventual Leases, Yorkshire, 900.) Thomas Radnor was apparently not Minister in November, 1457—see next note. But he reappears in March, 1458 (see p. 211 below), and again on 29th November, 1465. (Barrett, History of Bristol, p. 571; for another reference in 1465 to Friar Thomas, Minister, see Archaeologia Aeliana, new ser., iii., 146.) Apparently he held office twice, first about 1438–1450, and secondly about 1458–1465.
  • 172. Bishop Pecock wrote a letter addressed Doctori ordinis fratrum minorum Godard describing modern preachers as "clamatores in pulpitis". Afterwards in November, 1457, it was "Doctor William Goddard, the elder, that was provincialle of the Grayfreeres" (Greyfriars Chronicle ap. Mon. Franc., ii., 175) who appeached the bishop for heresy. It would therefore seem that Goddard was Minister between Radnor's two terms, i.e. circa 1450 to 1458. On 6th November, 1465, William Gregory bequeathed him 20s. calling him simply "maister Godard thelder a nother frere minour". (Collections of a London Citizen, p. xiii.) In 1470 Friar William was again Provincial Minister (Additional Charter, 37678); this may be Goddard. On 30th September, 1470, Goddard was put up at St. Paul's to preach that Henry VI. was the new king; this suggests that he was in politics a supporter of Warwick. On 6th March, 1472, in the will of Sir John Crosby there is a bequest to "Maister Godard thelder". In 1477 the Duke of Clarence brought "famosum Doctorem ordinis Minorum M. Willielmum Goddard" to recite his confession of innocence before the Council. (Croyland Chronicle, 561.) There is no proof that Goddard was Provincial Minister on either of these last two dates. However in a record dated 4th October, 1485, William Goddard appears as Provincial. This can hardly refer to William Goddard the younger (see p. 60 above), who is said to have died on 26th September, 1485; moreover, as Mr. Little points out, there is no evidence that the younger Goddard was ever Provincial, and he was not buried in the Choir, as all the Ministers mentioned in the Register were. Probably the elder Goddard held office twice or, if the references for 1470 and 1485 both refer to him, possibly three times. If 1470 and 1485 both fell in the same term, Radnor and Goddard must have held office in turn for all or nearly all the fifty years between 1438 and 1487. In the manuscript "1437" was added in a later hand after "disertissimus," but subsequently erased; perhaps the true date was 1487. The words "jacet Londonie" are also an addition, probably based on the entry on p. 72 above.
  • 173. He was Provincial in February, 1498; see p. 211 below. According to Wood (Fasti, 6) he became D.D. about 1500. On p. 73 above he is said to have died on 16th December, 1505. Possibly a name is missing between Goddard and Perseval, and one at least is certainly missing between Perseval and Standish.
  • 174. A later hand added "1505" which has been erased.
  • 175. Provincial 1515–1518; see p. 60 above.
  • 176. Occurs as Provincial on 26th June, 1524. (Eng. Hist. Rev., vi., 751.) He was apparently dead before this record was written, circa 1526, and it is strange that his successor is not given. Dr. William Call or Cale was Provincial between 1531 and November, 1538; he was subservient to Thomas Cromwell (id. ib.; Letters and Papers Henry VIII., ix., 301, xiii. (i.), 651, (ii.), 1211). The Franciscan William Peto was Provincial in 1532; but he seems to have belonged to the Observant branch of the Order.
