• Notes

  Knight of the shire for Derbyshire 1353, 1354, 1357, 1360, 1362. Authorities disagree on whether his father was Hugh Franceys (d. 1336) of Allestrey, Derbyshire, as stated by The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz; or William Franceys; or Thomas Francis of Foremark, Derbyshire, as quoted by Leo van de Pas from Gerald Paget's 1977 Lineage and Ancestry of H.R.H. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.
