Footnote 983: E.g., the Prioress of Tarent received £100 a year, the Abbot of Evesham, £240 (Gasquet, ii., 230, 310); these sums must be multiplied by ten to bring them to their present value.

Footnote 986: The exact proportion is of course difficult to determine; Mr. E.F. Gay in an admirable paper (Trans. Royal Hist. Soc., N.S., xviii., 208, 209) thinks that I have exaggerated the part played by the propertyless class in the rebellion. They were undoubtedly present in large numbers; but my remark is intended to guard against the theory that the grievances were entirely religious, not to exclude those grievances; and the northern lords were of course notable examples of the discontent of the propertied class.[(back)]
