Greetings
In pursuing a relationship between John Lackland & White Lackington I found the following notice dating White Lackington to a period between (1174-91); Henry II died in 1189, and John reigned starting 1199.
"Our earliest notice is to be found in the acts of Bishop Reginald (1174-91) creating the prebends of Holcombe, White Lackington, Timberscombe, in the cathedral church of Wells."
A prebend, see above, is (an allowance paid) by a cathedral or collegiate church (to a canon or member of the chapter)
(Speculation) With Henry II and Richard I going on crusades with English monies, and (if) this prebend was for John "Lackland" as it appears to be - then were they all either followers of the Cistercian (an "orthodox" Benedictine) or were they Templars themselves?
