CHISELDEN, John (1425-c.1485), of Uppingham, Rutland.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. Seaton, Rutland 14 Feb. 1425, s. and h. of John Chiselden (fl.1439) of Allexton, Rutland, by his w. Elizabeth (fl.1448); gds. of Robert Chiselden† of Harpole, Northants. Robert’s biography in The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 570-1 mistakenly states that he was alive as late as Mar. 1444 (an error based on a misreading of C139/118/14). He was dead by Oct. 1432 and was succeeded by our MP’s father, who was alive as late as 1439: CP40/688, rot. 96; 715, rot. 616d. Robert’s biography also omits to mention the important fact that he was involved in an assault on his stepdaughter’s husband, James Bellers†, as the latter returned home from the Parliament of May 1413: Leics. Med. Peds. ed. Farnham, 50-51. The heraldic evidence is against a close family relationship between him and William Chiselden, clerk, receiver-gen. of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster: Yorks. Arch. Jnl. xiii. 82. educ. L. Inn. m. (1) aft. 10 Mar. 1445, Elizabeth, ?da. or niece of Robert Scarle† of Uppingham; (2) Joan.
