Notes

It is quite possible that he was related to Master Denis Lopham (d.1414), a distinguished canonist and civil lawyer who was employed by Richard II on several diplomatic missions, and was among those appointed on 30 Sept. 1399, in the great assembly of estates, to receive Richard’s abdication. A wealthy citizen of London, able to leave a number of properties to his young son, Thomas, Master Denis also had interests in Cambs. acquired through his 2nd wife, Alice: RP, iii. 416; Guildhall Lib. London, 9171/2, ff. 277-8, 290; CFR, xiii. 222.
