[457]. ‘Guy le Armerecte’ (A.) would seem to be a Latinization of the name.
[458]. ‘Henry Langbane’ occurs in the list of the Corpus Christi Guild, York. (Surt. Soc.)
[459]. I see ‘Catterman’ also exists. This is early faced by ‘Richard Catermayn’ (H.).
[460]. Robert Pettifer was Sheriff of Gloucester in 1603. (Rudder’s Gloucestershire, p. 116.)

[462]. ‘Antony Knebone’ (Z.). This would seem to belong to a similar class.

‘Hir one schanke blak hir other graye,
