^{page 4 note a} The “o” in this name is altered by another hand into “a.”

^{page 7 note a} Lucium. So in MS. This marginal note is mutilated, the edge of the paper having been cut by the binder, so that it is uncertain what the date assigned to the conversion of Lucius was. But it was most probably 163 (CLXIII), the L being now lost.

^{page 8 note a} Over the name “Constantyne” in the text is written by the annotator “Emperowre.”

^{page 8 note b} Armorica.

^{page 10 note a} The names of the eight kingdoms are repeated in a marginal note.

^{page 16 note a} Sic in MS.

^{page 17 note a} In the margin occurs the following note by another hand: “Robert Curthos primogenitus cui Willelmus Conquestor in sua morte reliquit sibi totam Normaniam, ut habetur in alia cronica.”

^{page 19 note a} Gualo.

^{page 19 note b} So in MS., repeated.

^{page 24 note a} The annotator here commits the gross blunder of representing Richard II. as the son, instead of grandson, of Edward III.; and, not content with this inaccuracy in the margin, he has written over “Prince Edwardis sonne” in the text the words “Edwardus iij^us” above the line.

^{page 25 note a} After “Seint Vincentes daye” about a line and a-half is crossed out, beginning “of May was the Erthe quake.” The erased words occur in the text immediately below; which shows that the MS. is here a copy and that the transcriber had missed a line.

^{page 27 note a} The original text read “Sir John Busshe;” but “John” is crossed through and “Wylliam Scrowpe” inserted in the margin by another hand, with a caret in the text after the cancelled word.

^{page 36 note a} Crossed out.

^{page 37 note a} Corrected from “xlvij.”

^{page 41 note a} This between brackets has been added by the Corrector at the top of the page, * fo. 24b.

^{page 54 note d} The name was “John” in the text, but it is crossed through and “Wylliam” is written over. The Corrector has added the following note in the margin, relative to the year of his mayoralty: “Primo, quia bis fuit maior civitatis.”
