Certificate of W[alter Gray] archbishop of York witnessing that T. the chamberlain and Oswald, monks of Durham and proctors of their prior & convent, at Wilton before the archbishop on the morrow of St. Hilary next after the arrival of Pand[ulf] the papal legate in England appealed to the Holy See for the liberties and possessions of their church and themselves and the status of their church, themselves, and their men, and for protection of that appeal appealed to the said legate and the archbishop: that on the preceding St. Hilary's day they made the same appeal at York before the chapter: and that on the morrow of St. Hilary the proctor of Master S[imon of Farlington] archdeacon of Durham interposed a similar appeal for his right in the church of Howden and for his status.

According to Ralph Coggeshall's Chronicle (Rolls Series) p.186, the legate Pandulf arrived in London 3 December 1218 ; this is the most precise of a number of chronicle entries indicating that Pandulf arrived just as his predecessor Guala was leaving, late in that year (cf. Tillmann,, pp.116-17 & note 298). This makes the morrow of St. Hilary next after his arrival 14 January 1219.
Although according to 2.1.Archiep.6 Simon of Farlington was not admitted to Howden until Archbishop Grey's 5th year, i.e. November1219-November 1220, he may have had a valid presentation by January 1219, and indeed had a much earlier interest in the church (cf. Cheney, Letters of Innocent III, No.454, Cal. Pap. Lett. I, 12-13; 2.1.Archiep.29 ).

Roger, parson of Howden, died 1201 or 1202 (see Barlow in EHR LXV (1950), pp.356. 358) Archbishop Geoffrey fled the country in 1207 and never returned (DNB)
Probably to be dated about the time of the papal mandate of 5 January 1203 for the settlement of the disputed presentation (Cheney, Letters of Innocent III, No.454: Cal. Pap. Lett. I, 12-13). As the preamble to the mandate shows that Master Simon's proctor at Rome did not plead this institution, it presumably took place after that date or only shortly before. Since Master Simon's rival eventually obtained possession ( FPD p.280: 2.1.Archiep.31 ), a date much later is unlikely.

DCD 2.1.Archiep.30   1191 x 1202
