Note 11 — ECCLESIASTICAL RECORD.

Bremond, in Bullario Ord. Praed. iii. 64, mentions a “Richardus Wichelei, Winchelsey, vel Wicherlsi”, who was appointed to our see anno circiter 1480. The Belgium Dominicanum fixes the precise date of his appointment as 1479, and we see no reason for excluding him from the list of the successors of St. Canice. He must, however, have resigned the same year, though, perhaps, the title may have been continued through courtesy, even in 1481, as mentioned by De Burgo, pag. 476. Some, however, have supposed that this bishop’s see was Ossonensis, to which we find Dominican bishops more than once appointed in the Bullarium above referred to.
