Braybrooke and kinsmen’ (Oxf. Univ. D.Phil. thesis, 1951), 390-3, provides useful genealogical background, although he is wrong in stating that Richard’s mother, Elizabeth, was daughter and sole heir of John Loveday of Hedsor. Elizabeth Loveday actually married Richard’s uncle, Ralph (CIPM, xvi. no. 345).
