Berechiah de Nicole

Berechiah de Nicole also known as Benedict fil Mosse, (d. after 1270[1]: 25 ), was a thirteenth-century English Tosafist who lived at Lincoln.

[1] He was of the well-known Hagin family, and son of Rabbi Moses ben Yom-Tov of London.

He was the chief rabbi of Lincoln (the Norman-French name of which was "Nicole"), and probably lived in the house now known as the Jew's House in that city; for this was in the possession of a certain Belaset of Wallington in 1287, and there is a deed which speaks of Belaset, daughter of the Rav Berechiah.

For instance, the Mordechai quotes that he decided that the evening prayer might be said an hour and a quarter before the legal time of night.
