Notes

Although no evidence has survived to contradict J.C. Wedgwood’s assumption that this MP and the courtier, John Parker, were one and the same person (Staffs. Parl. Hist. i (Wm. Salt Arch. Soc.), 192-3), it is not impossible to be absolutely certain in identifying the bearer of such a common name.
