Richard Ednam supplicated on January 27th, 1454/5, that eight oppositions should stand for the complete opposition required by the statutes[1679]; the grace was conceded without conditions, and Ednam was admitted B.D., November 28th, 1455[1680]. On April 2nd, 1462, he supplicated for D.D., promising to pay £10 on the day of his inception; the grace to incept was granted on condition
‘that he should incept within a year and give the Regents the usual livery’[1681].
He did not take advantage of this grace, and on May 24th, 1463, he again supplicated for D.D.; the grace was conceded on condition

Gundesalvus (Gonsalvo) of Portugal was admitted to oppose in theology in April, 1456[1686].

On May 29th, 1459, having performed the exercises required for the doctor’s degree, he supplicated for grace to incept in theology, ‘notwithstanding that he had not ruled in Arts.’ The grace was conceded on condition that he should incept in the first week of the next term, and
‘give a livery, i.e. cultellos, according to the ancient custom, to all the Regents’[1688].
