Notes

The subject of this biography may have been a kinsman of the skinner, William Oliver (d.1396), who became an alderman of London, but the latter’s will contains no mention of any relationship between them (Guildhall Lib. London, 9171/1, ff. 384d-5). He is not to be confused with his near contemporary, the mercer, William Oliver (Cal. P. and M. London, 1413-37, pp. 263, 289).
