Notes
^ William Waynflete was traditionally reckoned as the first Head Master of Eton, serving for a brief period preceding Westbury in 1442, but modern scholarship does not support this claim. Waynflete did, however, become Provost of the college shortly afterwards.[ 1]
^ a b Clutton-Brock begins Malim's term in 1555.[ 2]
^ Blythe is listed by Clutton-Brock, but not included in the school's official list.[ 2]
