POLE, John de la (c.1385-c.1439), of Hartington, Derbys. and Alstonfield, Staffs.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. c.1385, s. and h. of Sir John de la Pole† of Hartington and Alstonfield by his w. Isabel (fl.1436). She was assessed on an income of £26 p.a. in the tax returns of 1436: E179/240/266. Her survival diminished the MP’s income, as too may have provision for his yr. brothers, Nicholas and George. In 1426 Nicholas attested his election to Parliament, but the brothers may have been on less friendly terms in 1427 when John entered into a bond in £100 to him: C219/13/4; Derbys. RO, Every of Egginton mss, D5236/15/5. On 13 Dec. 1435 George surrendered his interest in a small estate in Aylestone (Leics.), perhaps lands settled upon him by their father, to the Babthorpes: E159/212, commissiones Mich. m.
