SKYDEMORE, Sir John (d.1434), of Kentchurch, Herefs.
Main residence: Kentchurch, Herefs.
Scudamore, Skidmor, Skydmore
Notes

It is at times difficult to distinguish him from several contemporaries of the same name, and this situation is not helped by the conflicting family pedigrees (Herefs. RO, B56/1, ff. 43, 53, 96, 109-10). The MP was clearly not John Skydemore of Kilpeck, though their careers are difficult to separate. The latter was active in Herefs. in the reign of Edw. III and Ric. II, and escheator of Herefs. and Glos. 1389-90 and of Herefs. from Jan. 1399 until his death in the following June. He d.s.p. (CFR, viii. 74; ix. 356; x. 194; CPR, 1388-92, p. 217; 1396-9, p. 382; CCR, 1392-6, p. 4; E199/18/22; DL28/4/4). He is also distinct from John Skydemore of La Ferne in Bodenham, Herefs., who d. intestate in 1418, when the MP was granted his goods: Reg. Lacy (Canterbury and York Soc. xxi), 44. John, s. of Philip Skydemore of Holme Lacy, Herefs., who was constable of Bishop’s castle, Salop, in 1418, was probably Sir John’s nephew (SC8/186/9292; Reg. Lacy, 26-27; Herefs. RO, B56/1, f. 53). Finally, he is not to be confused (as in HP ed. Wedgwood 1439-1509, Biogs. 753-4) with his son John, the Member for Herefs. in 1445 and 1449.
