280. WILLIAM SUTTON TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR [1480-83]

William Sutton, D.D., of Oxford, was proctor in 1467, and Commissary of the University in 1480 and the four subsequent years; he occurs as Com|missary in the Proctor's accounts for 10 May, 1481 to 17 April, 1482, and for 17 April, 1482 to 9 April, 1483. [Information supplied by Mr. R. L. Poole, keeper of the Archives. See also Wood, Fasti, 63, ii, 728, and Epistolae Academicae, 487. The Commissary usually entered office in the week after Easter week.] He also occurs as Commissary on 20 Dec., 1482. Sutton was Principal of Brasenose Hall in 1480, and died in 1502. He probably wrote this letter in his official capacity as Commissary. From A.C., xlvi, 215.
