[Footnote 99: Since the end of the thirteenth century the bishop had
been accustomed to delegate the contentious jurisdiction of his diocese
to an ecclesiastical judge, taking the name of _vicar_, or more commonly
_official_ ("vicarius generalis officialis"). The court itself became
known as the _officialite_. Trials for heresy, breach of promise of
marriage, etc., came before it. See the Dictionnaire de la conversation
(1857), s. v. _Official_.]

tells us: "Et si le plus souvent a telles noyseay estoient les premiers

[Footnote 104: Relazioni Venete, Alberi, ii. 409. Brantome is a familiar
instance of a favorite thus rewarded from the estates of the church. His
amusing vindication of the anomaly is worthy of a perusal. See
Digression contre les Eslections des Benefices, Oeuvres, tom. vii. On
one occasion an enemy of the loquacious courtier caused the
assassination of his _titular_ abbot, apparently in the hope of
depriving Brantome of his chief source of revenue! Ibid., vii. 294.]
