A fact from Hamo (dean of York) appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 February 2015 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the dispute over Hamo's appointment as treasurer of
York was resolved when
his opponent gave him
a church instead?
Do we know why Hamo claimed to have held the Treasureship if he didn't? What's the context?
No clue. Just that it happened. Yeah, it's odd, but no clue on why. Welcome to the high middle ages, where things don't HAVE to make sense... or be explained.

Perhaps "this office" instead of the second treasurership.
"an office he held along with the Archdeaconry of East Riding, a combination of offices that had occurred for over 100 years" -- bit complicated this and the next sentence. I'd suggest something like, "an office he held along with the Archdeaconry of East Riding, as the two had been combined for over 100 years"
"Hamo was the final treasurer to hold the East Riding alongside the treasurership, being last-named in the office in 1216"
"Hamo may have been " --He; "but had certainly been appointed by 1 March 18, when his presence is first documented".
It might be tangential, but perhaps a brief explanatory note on why he might have had a son—to the modern Christian, an (officially, anyway...) unheard-of thing!—but back then, less so. Have a look at
note #4 where I dealt with something similar (if slightly later).
