On the other hand, it may be that the bailiff was our MP’s son and that he predeceased him. council of 12 by Mich. 1456-Mich. 1457. Scarborough ct. bk. 2, f. 122.

ABRAHALL, John (d.1443), of Dewchurch and Gillow in Archenfield, Herefs.

Family and Education
s. and h. of Richard Abrahall (fl.1432) by Elizabeth Pichard or Pechere (fl.1446) of ‘Pecheres’, Herefs. Richard Abrahall last appears in the records in 1432, when he attested the Herefs. election: C219/14/3. He was almost certainly dead by c.1437, when two of the family’s manors were settled on our MP and his 3rd w.: CIPM, xxvi. 74. m. (1) bef. June 1412, Margaret (fl.1422), wid. of Sir William Hampton of Hampton Mappenore, Herefs., 1da.; ?(2) – da. and h. of Richard Moore (or More); (3) bef. 1437, Perryne, prob. da. of Sir Robert Whitney*, These marriages are taken from a visitation ped. of 1569: Vis. Herefs. ed. Weaver, 2-3. This identifies his 3rd w. as da. of Sir Thomas Whitney, but, on the assumption that she has been correctly identified as a Whitney, she must have been the daughter of our MP’s contemporary, Sir Robert. The ped. is the only evidence for his 2nd marriage, although our MP’s association with his neighbour, Thomas Moore of Baysham, in 1411 could be cited in its support: Hereford Cathedral Archs., nos. 1824-5. 1s. Dist. 1439.

1426

In the months since the dissolution of the Parliament on 14 July 1425 disagreements between the chancellor, Henry Beaufort, bishop of Winchester, and the London mercantile community over tunnage and poundage, and even more seriously Beaufort’s continuing struggle for power with the Protector, Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, had resulted in armed confrontation at London Bridge on 30 October.
