[127] Linc. Visit. II, p. 4. She was also charged with the introduction of unsuitable persons as lay boarders, etc. “Item priorissa introducit in prioratum diuersos extraneos et ignotos, tam mares quam feminas et eos sustentat communibus expensis domus et aliquas quasi ideotas et alias inhabiles fecit moniales. Negat articulum.” But ideota probably simply means unlearned here, and in the case of Agnes Hosey, below p. [33]. Compare the case at Bival in Normandy 1251. “Ibi est quedam filia burgensis de Vallibus que stulta est.” Reg. Visit. Archiep. Rothomag., ed. Bonnin, p. 111.
