Notes

What relation, if any, Simon Cuddington (d. 1407), citizen and harness-maker of London (Guildhall Lib. London, 9171/2, f. 101v), and Henry Cuddington, master in Chancery (to 1380), were to our MP remains a matter of conjecture. Henry Cuddington, who became prebendary of Southwell minster, dined with Bishop Wykeham at Winchester in June 1393 together with ‘his brother’, but the latter’s name is not given (Winchester Coll. muns. Bp. Wykeham’s household roll).
