| Notes |
- Knight of the shire for Kent in the "Wonderful Parliament" of 1386. Clerk of the King's Works, Westminster, the Tower, and elsewhere, 1389-91, and St. George's Chapel, Windsor, 1390-91. Forester of North Petherton, Somerset, about 1390-91 and 1399.
An administrator and diplomat over many decades, one task he performed of relevance to this genealogical database was his 1378 mission to Italy to treat with Bernabò Visconti, ruler of Milan, ancestor of TWK, and his son-in-law John Hawkwood, the English mercenary commander, ancestor of JTS and DDB.
He also, on 15 Oct 1386, gave testimony before the court of chivalry in the celebrated case of Richard le Scrope versus TNH, JTS, TSW, and TWK ancestor Robert Grosvenor.
Greatest poet of medieval England.
