[3] John Stow, who took notes from this, thought Blaneforde made reference to an event of 1326, but the entry in fact relates to the trial of Adam Orleton, bishop of Hereford, in 1323.
From this manuscript Hearne printed the work in his Annales Edwardi II, Oxford, 1729; it has been edited by H. T. Riley in the Chronica Monasterii S. Albani, Rolls Series.
[4][2] From a reference to this writer as "Blankforde" in Walsingham's History,[5] Riley believes that he took his name from Blanquefort, near Bordeaux, called Blanckeforde in the Annals of Waverley.
[6] Blaneforde's name is mentioned in a notice of the historians of St. Albans in a fragment printed in the Rolls edition of the Annals of John Amundesham.
For a Blaneford, evidently in Somerset, see a charter of Edward II in Dugdale's Monasticon.
