Notes

According to CP (v. 253-4), it was the Sir John Cornwall who married Henry IV’s sister, Elizabeth, duchess of Exeter, and was cr. Lord Fanhope in 1432; who sat for Shropshire in 1402 and 1407. This seems unlikely, however, for that Sir John, although closely related to the Barons of Burford, owners of very extensive estates in Shropshire as well as in Worcs. and Herefs. (CIPM, xii. 456), is not himself known to have held any property in the shire (C.G.S. Foljambe and C. Reade, House of Cornewall, 170), and his interests in the early 15th century were concentrated in the West Country.
