Notes
It is important to distinguish this MP from two other contemporaries and namesakes . Comparatively little confusion exists between him and Sir John de la Pole of Cheshire (b.c.1353), a retainer of Richard II (Scrope v. Grosvenor, i. 83, 361; ii. 269; DKR, xxxvi. 385-6); but his career was in many ways similar to that of his kinsman, the distinguished lawyer, Sir John de la Pole* of Newborough, Staffs. (d.c.1390), father of Peter de la Pole*. This biography is based solely upon specific references to John de la Pole of Hartington, on the assumption that others probably concern the more eminent of the two men.
