XXXVII. 4 idus Feb. (Feb. 10), 1302-3. Cawode. Whereas Uldric de Wippayns,2 calling himself proctor of Sir Otho de Chauvenz, rector of the church of Tyverington, asserts Sir Otho is alive, the official is ordered not to allow Henry de Appelby, acolyte, the presentee to the same, to

1 Amand of Routh ultimately obtained possession of the church (nos. 541, 1141).

The rector was alive at this time,
(nos. 364, 394). Uldric de Wip-
payns, rector of Workington (no.
794) and Middleton-on-the-Wolds
(no. 921), was probably a brother of
the rector of Terrington. In the
pedigree of the Grandisson family,
prefixed to the third volume of bish-
op Grandisson's Register (Hinges-
ton-Randolph's ed.), it appears that
the abovenamed Otho de Chauvent,
also called Chavente and Chaump-
vent, was presented by Henry iii to
the rectory of Havant (Hants), Nov.
3, 1261. Besides Terrington he was
dean of Seliriac in the diocese of

Geneva (C.P.L., i, 508). His uncle,
William de Chauvent, presented by
Henry iii to the subdeanery of York
in 1266 (Reg. Giffard, p. 152), was

dean of Seliriac and bishop of Lau-
sanne, 1279-1301. A brother of
Otho's, Peter de Chavente, is men-
tioned in no. 809. Their paternal
grandfather was Henry de Grandis-
son, lord of Chauvent or Champvent
near Grandson, on the lake of Neu-
châtel. A female Grandisson mar-
ried a de Wyppeyns and was mother
of Gerard de Wyppeyns, archdeacon
of Richmond and bishop of Lau-
sanne (1301-9), in succession to
bishop William de Champvent.
was ultimately translated to Basle
which he held till his death in 1325.
One of the Grandissons married a
daughter of Ulrich, count of Neu-
châtel, now in Switzerland, a near
relation of Henry iii's queen. This
probably accounts for the occur-
rence of the name above.
