HORDE, William (d.1435), of Shrewsbury, Salop.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
s. of Richard Horde of Walford and Shrewsbury by his w. Margaret. Richard, admitted as a burgess of Shrewsbury in 1372, appears to have lived to a great age, that is, if he was the same man who served several terms as assessor and coroner there between 1396 and 1420: Salop Archs., Shrewsbury recs., assembly bk. 3365/67, ff. 10v-14. If this identification is correct, it is curious that our MP should have exceeded his father in importance so many years before the latter’s death. All that is certain is that William’s father was a Richard ‘of Shrewsbury’: C67/30, m. 28; 37, m. 30. m. (1) 1 John*; (2) bef. Nov. 1430, Katherine, si of Robert Coyne of Jay, Salop.

He was probably appointed to the stewardship when the lordship, along with other Mortimer lands, was in royal hands for the discharge of the fine of 10,000 marks imposed on Edmund Mortimer, earl of March (d.1425), by Hen. V for his unlicensed marriage: SC6/1113/1, m. 4.
