Notes
It is now impossible to tell what connexion, if any, existed between this Member and Richard Misen of Saltfleetby, which lies a few miles down the coast from Grimsby. The latter owned a ship named Le Petre which transported soldiers to France in 1370; and it was probably he rather than his namesake who took the general oath in March 1388 to support the Lords Appellant. He was still alive in 1398 when he received a papal indult to make use of a portable altar (Issue Roll Brantingham ed. Devon, 264; Lincoln Rec. Soc. lvi. 86, 98; RP, iii. 401; CPL, v. 220).
