1311 Christopher Cresacre More.
1312 Tentatively this person may be identified as Joan/Jane More, professed as a lay sister at the Abbey of the Glorious Assumption of our Lady at Brussels, Weldon, B., Chronological Notes containing the Rise, Growth, and present State of the English Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict (Stanbrook, 1881)Google Scholar, appendix, 33. She was a daughter of Mary, Thomas More's sister. In February 1616 she wrote to Thomas, her uncle, saying that she had been professed for more than a year, AAW A XV, no. 40. I am grateful to Caroline Bowden for this information.

1319 See Letters 32, 48. Champney wrote to More on 14 January 1614 (NS) that ‘I thought to have sent you a litle thinge in answer’ of one of Preston's ‘argumentes in his last booke which is drawne out of that fact’ of the priests ‘whoe made theyre protestatione of obedience to the last queene’ though it has not yet been copied out. When it arrives, More is to show it to Cardinal Bellarmine and others, AAW A XIII, no. 4 (p. 8). But this political activity on the Paris college's part irritated the English privy council. Champney observed in the same letter that Sir Thomas Edmondes, the English ambassador in France, had persuaded the French council of state to order ‘that we must breake our companie’. Villeroi asked the former ambassador to England, Antoine le Fèvre de la Boderie, who had been an effective diplomat there, to intervene but de la Boderie was unsuccessful, AAW A XIII, no. 4 (p. 7). On the same day William Bishop wrote to Cardinal Farnese that they had been ordered not to live collegially but disperse and live in two separate houses, a situation which Bishop asked the cardinal to rectify, AAW A XIII, no. 8 (p. 20).
