He also says that "in 1393 the same King
"presented Robert Savage, then Lord
" Mayor, with a large gilt mace, to be
"borne likewise (i.e.,
with the sword given in 1389) before him and his
" successors."
Mr. Davies, in the Yorkshire Phil. Soc. Annual Report, 1849, says of
this Robert Savage that he was a wealthy merchant, living in the parish
of All Saints, North Street, and represented this city in Parliament 1386.
He died 1398, and directed by his will that his body should be buried
before the Altar of
St. Michael's in the
aforesaid
Church.
The Savages,
therefore, were
people of great civic
importance during
the building of the
Nave and Choir.
That stone horn
which is to be found
sculptured
close to
these shields at the
east end of the Nave
and west end of the
Choir, has been considered
to be representative
of the horn
of Ulphus, and
therefore these arms have been attributed to him ;
but he must have died
