Synopsis

1859. .: ... John Of Bridlington.1 Venerabili domino et mira magnitudine extollendo, temporali praedito potestate, scrutinio ctiam excellenti, Humfredo de Bohun, corniti Herefordise, Essexiae, Norhamtoniae, et constabulario Anglia?, et domino de Breighnok, Dei gratia humilitatis servus, si super consequentise notam caput miserationis velitis adjungere, nomen obscurum et obsequium salutare.
