Notes

Unless otherwise stated, all references used in this biography are to be found in J.S. Roskell, Parl. and Pol. in Late Med. Eng. iii. 205-36. It is evident that Sir Richard was married twice, as in 1397 he had an adult son named Sir Matthew, who is omitted from all the family pedigrees (JUST 1/1509 rot. 4, 6). The genealogists are wrong in asserting that Sir Richard’s sister, Felicity, married the London mercer, John Woodcock*. The latter’s wife was the daughter of another mercer, Thomas Austyn (Corporation of London RO, hr 134/69).
