Details taken with permission from "It's All Over" by J. Brian Curzon, 2006. However, it has been pointed out (thank you) that the details contained therein are in opposition to the dates of English Kings given in the article. A websearch confirms that there are two competing dates for the lifetime or Robert Nixon. Older sources go for the older date but there seems to have been new prophecies added (with concomitant changing of dates) at times when, presumably, someone felt a new prophecy was needed.

Have corrected the statements re the last abbot of Vale Royal; he was not named Harrow, rather it was John Hareware, and he was certainly _not_ executed by Holcroft (who did not have that power), but rather continued to live on his fat pension until at least 1546. My source for this is the VCH, cf http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=39978
