Date: Later than Reginald's grant to the abbey of rent from adjacent land (390). Turold was in office in the reign of Richard I, and in the mayoralty of Henry Fitz Ailwin, although, since the earliest known appearance of the next master is 1218 x 1219, Turold may have continued in office for some time after 1212 (VCH London, I, 545b and n. 45). |
