  Knighted Whitsuntide 1426. "Edmund Trafford, in company with Sir Thomas Assheton (father of Elizabeth Assheton, who married Edmund's son John), was granted a licence from the crown dated 9 March 1446 (24 Hen. VI), 'encouraging [them] … to pursue their experiments in alchemy, and forbidding any subject of the king to molest them' (in the words of a modern paraphrase)."
