Thanks! and the shorter OED gives "prebendary" as a synonym for corrodian. But to me this sounds
more like a cathedral canon, and indeed that is the definition the easily accessible electronic dictionaries give.

Greetings all,
I've been functioning in a foreign language so long that I can't remember English! Can someone supply me with the term used for people who made a donation to a religious institution (mostly monasteries, I expect) in exchange for their upkeep for the remainder of their lives? "Proventu" people in Icelandic, and I cannot think of the English term!
If anyone is working on this topic, I'd be happy to exchange data!
All the best for the holidays,
Meg
