Notes - Sheriff of Northamptonshire 1380, 1385, 1390. Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire 1383. Knight of the shire for Northamptonshire in five parliaments between 1382 and 1390.
Complete Peerage identifies him as a knight, but Douglas Richardson's 24 Apr 2022 post to SGM points out the lack of evidence that this was the case.
