Notes

Given his occupation as a local dyer, it seems unlikely that this MP was the John Rivell who, in 1394, was arraigned with John Tyndale* at the Northampton assizes on a plea of novel disseisin. Three years later this John Rivell received a royal commission for the recruitment of workmen in Northants., although he actually lived across the country border in Rutland. In 1408, he and Tyndale offered a joint recognizance of pound;26, leviable upon their property in Rutland to a Yorkshiremen (JUST 1/1501 rot. 23; CPR, 1396-9, p. 192; CCR, 1405-9, p. 387).
