Offices Held

J.p. Hants 27 Apr. 1431 – Nov. 1440, 4 Jan. 1445 – Dec. 1458, Glos. 3 July 1437–d. He was not appointed a j.p. in Glos. on 28 Apr. 1437, as stated in CPR, 1436–41, p. 582. This was Sir Maurice Berkeley ‘junior’ (i.e. Sir Maurice I): C66/440, rot. 47d. CPR, 1452–61, p. 666 erroneously lists him with those appointed as j.p.s on 5 Dec. 1460. In fact, he had died earlier in the year and this was his son, Maurice Berkeley, esquire (C66/490, rot. 26d).

It is sometimes impossible to tell whether it was he or his namesake Sir Maurice Berkeley II of Beverstone castle, Glos. who was appointed to comms. in the county, especially in the years when they sat together on the local bench.

J.p. Glos. 1 June 1432-Nov. 1441, The comm. of 28 Apr. 1437 addressed to Sir Maurice Berkeley ‘the younger’ (C66/440, rot. 47d) is wrongly ascribed in the calendar, CPR, 1436–41, p. 582, to Sir Maurice Berkeley of Beverstone. Worcs. 18 Feb. 1446 – Nov. 1451.
