Notes for John de la Pole
The following was provided from Rosie beven:
"John de la Pole , knight 256. NORTHAMPTON. Inq taken at Northampton, Saturday before Palm Sunday, 3 Richard II.
He held no lands etc. in the county, because 7 years and more ago he
demised in fee all his manors and lands etc to John Moubray, knight, Robert
Charwelton, John Batayle and others.
He died on Sunday in Mid-Lent last. William de la Pole, his son, aged
5 years and more, is his heir."
[CIPM XV, no. 256]
"John de la Pole, knight Commission in the form of a writ of Mandamus to Edmund Bardolf, clerk, Robert Bardolf and the escheator in co. Oxford. The commissioners are also to enquire whether any enfeoffments have been made fraudulently in order to exclude the king from any custody of lands which ought to pertain to him on account of the death of the said John and by reason of the minority of his heir; as the king is given to understand that divers men of those parts have in times past defrauded him of such custody and other rights, and are still striving to do so. 28 June, 4 Richard II.
406. OXFORD. Inq taken at Boreford, Tuesday before St. Margaret, 4
Richard II, before Robert Bardolf and the escheator.
He held no lands, rents or services in the county on the day of his
death; but on Sunday the feast of the Assumption, 46 Edward III, he gave the
under-mentioned manors to John Moubray, knight, William Ermys, clerk,
John Battaill, William Lyndeslegh, Robert Antany, Martin Cranesham, John
atte More, and Peter Knesworth, chaplain, in fee simple, and the said
feoffees have taken the issues and profits thereof ever since. The said
feoffments were made bona fide, and not by collusion or fraud in order to exclude the king from any services.
Westhall and Fulbrok. The manors, held of the king, as of the honor of
St Valery; by service of rendering to the bailiff of the said honour 2s.
yearly rent and 6s. yearly of hidage, and by service of doing suit to the court of the said honor of Northosneye every three weeks, and by homage and fealty.
He died on 3 March, 3 Richard II. William his son, aged 7 years on 20
July next, is his heir."
[CIPM XV, no.406]
So we know he died on 3 (or 4th, which was a Sunday) March 1380, and
that he had a son, William de la Pole, born on 20 July 1374, who must
have died before 1388, when his sister Joan de la Pole, then married
to her first husband, Sir Robert Hemenhale, of Polstead, Norfolk, was
in possession of the de la Pole lands.
Nigel Saul says young William de la Pole died prematurely in 1380, but
doesn't provide a source. The IPM above has him alive on Tuesday
before St. Margaret, 4 Richard II (1381).
