DURFORD see CARYLL OF DURFORD DURHAM (city) and DURHAM OF LAMBTON CASTLE [Observations. — The Bishops of Durham were unquestionably, till the death (21 Feb. 1836) of Bishop Van Mildert, "from time immemorial, by prescriptive right," C) Lords of the Palatinate of Durham. Hence arose the "notion that the Bishops were Counts-Palatine of Durham and Earls of Sadberge, a demesne manor and wapentake in the county of Northumber- land, which Bishop Pudsey [recte Puiset] had acquired in the reign of Richard I." See Longstaffe's interesting article on the " Heraldry of Durham " in the Her. and Gen., vol. viii, pp. 32-35, and 136-168. These Bishops, indeed, have often been spoken of not only as " Earls," but even C) Preface to the 30th Rep. of the Dep. Keeper of Public Records [25 Feb. 1 869], where it is stated that a " brief sketch of the history of the Palatinate of Dur- ham " is given in the i6th Report, and that the "extensive liberties and rights thereof" devolved after 1836, by Act of Pari., on " King William IV, his heirs and successors." J. H. Round points out that the question is fully discussed in Dr. Lapsley's learned monograph on The County Palatine of Durham (1900), which takes for its motto an extract from the Parliament Rolls of 21 Edward I: "Episcopus Dunelmensis duos habet status, viz. statum episcopi quoad spiritualia et statum comitis palacii quod tenemente sua temporalia."
