Aug. 1455 (quarrel between Dominicans at Sudbury and Margaret Scrope), Essex Feb. 1457 (all felonies and murders), Essex, Norf., Suff.

June 1461. But it is possible that some of these commissions were held by a namesake of the MP, a son of Walter Green* of Hayes, Mdx. Both Walter and this other John Green also held lands in Essex, and Walter’s widow, Elizabeth, chose the MP as one of her feoffees. She was Walter’s second wife and bore him at least two sons, including the other John Green, who died in 1485: The Commons 1386–1421, iii. 231–2; Early Holborn ed. Williams, nos. 1172, 1212; CIPM Hen. VII, i. 86. R. Somerville, Duchy, i. 454, confuses John son of Walter with the MP.

The earl’s son and successor John was allowed to take possession of all the de Vere estates in Jan. 1474: CPR, 1461–7, pp. 139, 142; C.D. Ross, Edw. IV, 65.
