[15 August]. Payments refer to the prebend of Marmaduke Lumley being vacant for a quarter-year; he became bishop of Carlisle in April 1430.

Misc.Ch. 5709a.   [9 July 1283]
Process of the election of Antony Bek as bishop of Durham, individually subscribed by 64 of the community's monks, each with his name and a sign manual.
Probably the most remarkable document now among the Chapter Muniments, not least for the fact of its survival. Drawn up in quite extraordinary circumstances (well described by C. M. Fraser, 1957, pp. 32-6), there might well have been Durham monks who have wished to see it destroyed when the dispute with Bishop Bek broke out in 1300. Two centuries later it passed through the hands of Thomas Swalwell, as his endorsement shows. In the mid nineteenth century it was presumably among the documents catalogued during the first phase of the creation of "Miscellaneous Charters", when damage from vermin and damp had probably already occurred. There is no evidence that CMF saw it when working on Bek, since she would otherwise have surely mentioned it. Before repair it was nigh on unusable, but Meryl Foster gave it her attention, to very considerable effect (see note by AJP to frontispiece of Joan Greatrex 2011). Repair was undertaken by George Peart, as part of the programme supervised by Martin Snape for the whole of the Misc.Ch. class; fortunately this was done when "sausage-skin" had become commercially available, and the policy of rerolling documents after repair using this material had been abandoned.
The significance of the document is immediately obvious. 64 monks subscribed individually to the election of Antony Bek, each in his own hand, with his own ink and his own pen, adding to each entry a sign manual, which he presumably used in other circumstances, such as the marking of platters and clothing which were washed communally, thus preventing careless treatment of these items by one monk being visited on his fellows. The document was apparently drawn up in accordance with notarial practice (`In nomine ...'), a formula, which [pace Cheney] had persisted in Durham in the framing of wills, and so, like an earlier diploma, did not require sealing; manu propria sufficed, although earlier precedents for this do not come immediately to mind, and a sign was equi-valent to what a notary would have used.
The circumstances in which the document was created are not entirely clear. The election of a new bishop of Durham following the death of Bishop Robert of Holy Island on 7 June 1283 took place on 9 July in secret. The vacancy had prompted Archbishop Wickwane to attempt to assert rights of visitation; he was stoutly resisted. The monks, presumably calculating that they would thereby be best served in resisting Wickwane, elected one of Edward I's favourite clerics, who was also from a good family. It seems likely that some monks did not endorse this course of action, and that may account for some notable absentees among the signatories. The most obvious is Richard de Hoton, whose animosity towards Bek found expression as early as 1284; if Dr Fraser correctly pointed to an impoverished background at Hutton in Cleveland as his origin, then he was a native of Wickwane's own diocese, and from a very different social stratum to Bek's.
The subscribing monks do not occur in order of seniority, and are most easily taken to have subscribed when they were not otherwise engaged, and hence added their names later than the actual election process. With the aid of the standing ultra-violet lamp they were: Richard [Claxton] prior; Henry of Stamford (714); [Ambrose] of Bamburgh (634); Henry of Horncastle; Gilbert of Sherburn (635); William de Aslakby (642); Geoffrey of [New]castle (660); William de Castro (662); Richard de Barneby (597); Robert of School Aycliffe (632); Robert of Lanchester (647); [Adam] de Boyvil (734, & so not a full monk ?); John of Haxby (584); Richard of [Otteri]ngton (673); William Cuthbert (574); Hugh of Darlington (549); Richard [of Escrick ?] prior of Finchale; William Wake (655); Adam of Corbridge (617); Richard of Durham (646); Ralph de Castro (691); Roger of Bywell (654); Stephen of Dalton (565 / 574); Ingram of Beverley (600); William of Hartlepool (618 et al.); Richard of School Aycliffe (632); Thomas of [New]castle (702); Richard of Brompton (663); Thomas of Bamburgh (698); Thomas of Durham (715); [Tho]mas of Stanhope (? = le Deveneys 599); Simon of Grimsby (720); John de se-sbi (? = Seleby 697); Thomas of Adlingfleet (706); Thomas of Westoe (707); Warner of Giggleswick (682); Ingram of Chatton (649); John de Emildon (703); William of Heworth (656); [Geoffrey] of Boston (710); Robert of Mitford (652); Reginald of B[arnby] (684); Richard of Howden (622/4); John of Hexham (724 / 716); Michael of [Chilton] (677); John of Wolviston (704); Roger of School Aycliffe (719); Thomas of Wolviston (704); Peter of Sedgefield (667); Walter of Egglescl[iffe] ( 709); Henry of Fa[ceby] (670); Simon [of Jarrow] (607); Ralph of Mordon (712); Thomas of [New]castle (702); Thomas de Aldwode (718); Adam of Norton (701); Nicholas of York (678); Roger de Castro (696); [Geoffrey of] Haxby (721); Stephen of Howden [723]; Robert of Stanley (722); A[dam] of Ellingham (725); John of Hexham (716 / 724); William of Guisborough (726).

Copy bill of complaint in chancery by John [Piers], archbishop of York, and Thomas Burton LLD in a dispute with the dean and chapter of Durham about the right to custody of the spiritualities of the see of Durham sede vacante, arising out of a vacancy of the see caused by the death of Bishop Richard Barnes [1587], in the time of the archbishop's predecessor Edwin Sandys, when Thomas Burton was appointed the archbishop's commissary to exercise the jurisdiction, but was ejected by Dean Toby Matthew and the chapter of Durham, who claimed and exercised the jurisdiction themselves: the bill alleges that, although an appeal by the dean and chapter has been decided in favour of the archbishop by the High Court of Delegates, the dean and chapter have now brought an action in the Court of Queen's Bench, whereas the question is not one for a lay court, and if pursued this action is likely to lead to the question of fact being tried by a jury in the County Palatine of Durham, where the dean and chapter have undue influence; also that the dean and chapter have taken possession of written records which would prove the archbishop's case: request is made that a subpoena be directed to Toby Matthew, dean, and the chapter of Durham to appear in chancery to answer the bill, and that an injunction be issued to them and their agents to cease proceedings in Queen's Bench
