Cardinals.

Walter Winterburn, born at Sarisbury, and bred a Dominican Frier, was an excellent Scholar, and a skilful Casuist, a quality which recommended him to be Confessor to King Edward 1. Pope Benedict 11. made him (being 79 years of Age) Cardinal of St. Savin, upon the news of the death of Maklesfield at London, who dyed before the Cap was sent him; and this Walter's Cap (being not enjoyed one year) was never a whit the worse for wearing; for ha∣ving made a journey to Rome, to procure it, in his re∣turn home, he left it, and the World, and was buri∣ed at Genoa, but his Corps (afterwards brought over) was interred in London, 1305.

Robert Halam is reported to have been born of the Royal Blood of England.* 1.1 He was bred in, and Chancellour of Oxford, 1403. and was Arch-Deacon of Canterbury, then Bishop of Salisbury, at last made Cardinal, June 6. 1411. He was one of them who represented the English Clergy, both in the Council of Pisa and Constance, in which last Service he dyed 1417. in Gotleby Castle.
