KENDALE, John (d.c.1402), of Lostwithiel and ’Bodmalgan’ in Lanlivery, Cornw.

Submitted by legacy on
Family and Education
s. of John Kendale (d.c.1372), of Restormel and Trenode in Morval, Cornw. by his w. Alice. m. 2s.The pedigree given in Vivian’s Vis. Cornw. 258-61, is not reliable. The MP has been distinguished from a namesake and close kinsman, John, son of Richard Kendale (d.c.1390) of Treworgey. That John Kendale (whose father, MP for Lostwithiel in 1365 and 1377, Launceston in 1369, and Liskeard in 1377 and 1380, served as receiver of the Cornish estates of the duchy in 1365-9, and as sheriff of Devon in 1382-3 and of Cornw. in 1384-5), inherited substantial properties not only in south Cornw. but also in Devon (Cornw. Feet of Fines (Devon and Cornw. Rec. Soc. 1914), 639-41; CPR, 1364-7, p. 406; 1377-81, p. 427; SC6/820/9). He was reported in 1399 to have been a ’mere idiot from his birth’ (CIMisc, vii. 11), and although this misfortune did not prevent him from inheriting his father’s estate, from marrying, or from bringing suits at the assizes over various Cornish properties (in which John Kendale the MP had a reversionary interest), it would account for his lack of involvement in public affairs. He d. bef. 1429 leaving a da. Christine, wife of John Malerbe, as his heir (JUST 1/1502 mm. 169d. 203d, 1540 m. 90). inc. Stephen.
