Notes Father of John Adrien sheriff 1277-78 (Beaven I.236 and 405-06). Draper: Beaven I.373. Vintner: Stow/K II.158 (when mayor in 1270-71). McEwan p. 201 n. 195 lists him as "also known as 'John Adrian, draper'." For the details of removals and replacements, and one death, during 1257-58, see Stow/K II.157 n. 1. An appointed warden served between mayors Ralph Hardel and William fitz-Richard. Beaven II.xxxix, however, gives sheriff Robert de Cateloigne's death as in Dec. 1257, and Mayors and Sheriffs p. 31 gives 14 Dec., while Stow/K gives 19 Oct. 1257 as the date upon which Matthew Bukerel succeeded Cateloigne. Beaven I.373 lists Thomas fitz-Thomas as sheriff only in 1258. See also Mayors and Sheriffs pp. 33-39. Beaven I.374 lists Gregory de Rokesle and Simon de Hadestok as sheriffs in 1265, not specifying whether in the 1264-65 or the 1265-66 sheriffs' year. This would be a second time for Rokesle as sheriff (see 1263-64). Mayors and Sheriffs p. 81 places them under 1265-66 and states that they were not admitted; an explanatory note is provided. John Adrien and Walter Hervi became sheriffs, with Hugh fitz-Otho as warden; see Mayors and Sheriffs pp. 81-84. Stow/K II.157 provides the 28 Nov. date given here for Adrien and Hervi. Stow/K II.158 n. 1 (following Mayors and Sheriffs p. 93) gives the 11 Nov. 1266 date for the start of John Adrien's and Lucas de Batencourt's 1266-67 terms (the same date given for the end of William fitz-Richard's in this database, under 1265-66); Hughes p. 201 gives 12 Nov. for Adrien and Batencourt. See n. to William fitz-Richard sheriff and/or warden 1265-66. Mayors and Sheriffs pp. 95-96 states that Robert de Lintone and Roger Marshal were elected as sheriffs by the people after Easter [17 Apr.] 1267, and Richard de Culeworth by the Earl of Gloucester, and that (p. 97) Adrien and Batencourt were restored c. 18 June. The various 1267-68 replacements of sheriffs and the warden, including dates, are noted in Stow/K II.158 nn. 3 and 4 and, for the sheriffs only, in Hughes p. 201; but Stow/K's (and also Hughes's) 7 Apr. is 2 Apr. in Mayors and Sheriffs p. 106. Replacements of sheriffs and the warden, effective 6 July (the date also used by Hughes p. 201), are listed in Stow/K II.158 n. 7; but see also Mayors and Sheriffs pp. 120 and 129-30 (new mayor and sheriffs chosen at the beginning of June; mayor presented to king and admitted 16 July, sworn before king 18 July; sheriffs presented and admitted at Exchequer 18 July). Beaven on I.235 lists Walter le Poter as sheriff 1270-71, but on I.375 as sheriff only in 1270. Note Sources Beaven: Alfred B. Beaven, The Aldermen of the City of London. 2 vols.

Notes About Company Names

Grocers were originally called Pepperers; the company appears to have emerged as Grocers in 1372; and the Merchant Taylors were until 6 January 1503 the Tailors and Linen Armourers. For both companies the original name is used until the year of the change, and then the new name, regardless of whether the sources consulted use the old or the new designation. The Fishmongers and the Stockfishmongers were originally different companies which, after one union which did not succeed, were finally united on a permanent basis in 1536. The two different names are here reproduced until 1536, from which year only the Fishmonger designation is used, regardless of the readings of the sources. The Barbers and the Surgeons, two separate companies, were combined from 1540 to 1745; the combined name Barbers and Surgeons is accordingly used here for those years. The Armourers in 1708 became the Armourers and Brasiers, and the longer name is used here from 1708 on; but otherwise companies which through mergers and additions lengthened their original names are cited throughout by their original names only, for ease of database company searches. (For reference sources for the dates above, see Companies / Occupations on the site menu bar.) Note that a search for, e.g., all mayors and sheriffs from a company with a database name change has to be made separately for each company name.

Asterisks After Names

An asterisk after a name indicates an individual who is included as an alderman in A. B. Beaven's or John Chalstrey's reference volumes on London aldermen. From 1190--91 to 1271--72, parentheses around the asterisk indicate an individual who is in Beaven's volumes as an alderman but is not included in John McEwan's "The Aldermen of London, c.1200--80: Alfred Beaven Revisited." (See Sources, on the site menu bar, for these works.) In four cases, 1272--80, no parenthesis are supplied where Beaven indicates aldermanic status and McEwan does not; these special cases are footnoted.
