was  appointed  by  Henry  VIII  in  1534;  but  as  this  was  not  confirmed  by
the  Master-General,  he  cannot,  according  to  the  laws  of  the  Order,  be
considered  true  Provincial  {Letters  and  Papers,  Foreign  and  Domestic,
Henry  VIII,  vol.  vii,  no.  530;  Diet,  of  Nat.  Biogr.,  s.v.).

It  is  not  certain  that  there   were  any  Vicars  between  the  death  of

Heskins  and  1622.
