Notes for Anne de la Pole
Both CP and Smyth refer to her father only as Michael de la Pole, "Sir" in CP, "Monsieur" in Smyth, not naming him as the first earl of Suffolk.  It is only in Faris' PA that her father is described as earl, and then with no hint of the source; Faris refers to Smyth and CP but neither of these includes this gem.  Faris also refers to Nichols' History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, pub 1795, but I have not had sight of this.
However Burke's Extinct Peerages shows Anne to ahve been the daughter of the first earl.  Though Burke in his usual style said the earl was a knight of the garter, which is not as recorded anywhere else.
