Notes

This MP is not to be confused with the John Harper who became royal forester of Galtres in Yorkshire in 1438 and was dead by 1453 (CPR, 1436-41, p. 252; 1452-61, p. 37). Two adjacent entries in the close roll of 1420 distinguish clearly between our Member and another John Harper of Herefs. The latter appears among the list of Herefordshire gentry who, in 1434, were required to take the oath not to maintain persons disturbing the peace (CCR, 1419-22, p. 65 (bis); CPR, 1429-36, p. 376).
