AYSSHTON, Nicholas (d.1466), of Callington, Cornw.

Family and Education
?; educ. M. Temple. Men of Ct. comp. Baker (Selden Soc. supp. ser. xviii), i. 234. m. bef. 1417, Margaret, da. and coh. of Thomas Paderda† of Paderda, Cornw., 11ch. inc. Edward* (9 d.v.p.). The earlier biography states that he was knighted c.1461, but this seems improbable. Only a single reference styles him a knight, and this was most likely the result of a scribal error. Unlike his contemporary and fellow justice Walter Moyle* he is not known to have been among the group of judges knighted at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in May 1465. Crucially, neither Aysshton’s will nor his tomb brass call him a knight: CPR, 1461-7, p. 573; Shaw, Knights of Eng. i. 134. Summ. as j.c.p. 1445-63.
