MP
CALVELEY, Sir John (d.1403), of Stapleford, Leics. and Teigh, Rutland.
Family and Education
nephew of Sir Hugh Calveley the elder (d.1394) of Bunbury, Cheshire, governor of the Channel Isles. m. by May 1384, Margaret, da. and coh. of Roger Cheyne of Salop, wid. of Sir Christopher Folville of Teigh and of Sir Laurence Hauberk† (d.1381) of Stapleford, poss. 1s. Kntd. between Oct. 1383 and Nov. 1384.C66/317 m. 11d; SC8/103/5103; PRO List ’Sheriffs’, 112; CPR, 1401-5, p. 353; Trans. Leics. Arch. Soc. xi. 464; VCH Rutland, ii. 153; Peds. Plea Rolls ed. Wrottesley, 135. Both Sir John Calveley and (Sir) Hugh Caveley MP were nephews of the distinguished soldier, Sir Hugh Calveley the elder. It seems likely that they themselves were cousins rather than brothers, since (Sir) Hugh, who appears to have been the younger of the two, was heir to his father’s estates. T. Ormerod (Palatine and City of Chester ed. Helsby, ii. 768) is certainly wrong in describing them as father and son, although unlike R. Thoresby (Ducatis Leodiensis, 116) and T. Wotton (English Baronage, iv. 136-8) he does not make the mistake of attaching our Member to the Calveley family of Calveley in Yorks.

CALVELEY, Hugh (d.1393), of Calveley and Mottram St. Andrew, Cheshire.
Family and Education
s. of David Calveley of Calveley and Mottram St. Andrew by his w. Agnes; nephew of Sir Hugh Calveley the elder (d.1394) of Bunbury, Cheshire, governor of the Channel Isles. m. c.1381, Agnes, da. and h. of Sir Laurence Hauberk† (d.1381), of Stapleford, Leics. by Margaret, da. and coh. of Roger Cheyne of Salop, 2s. Kntd. between June 1386 and Nov. 1390.Scrope v. Grosvenor, ii. 226; CCR, 1389-92, p. 178. Because of a mistake over the dating of the regnal year 17 Ric. II, both G. Ormerod (Palatine and City of Chester ed. Helsby ii. 263, 419, 764-8) and the DNB (iii. 714-15) state that Sir Hugh Calveley the elder died on 23 Apr. 1393. In fact, he died exactly one year later, and was active as a campaigner during the summer of 1393 (DKR, xxxvi. 523). Because our Member predeceased his distinguished uncle, the same error is invariably made in establishing his own date of death.

Notes
It is possible that the same Nicholas Caldecote served in Rutland as a j.p. Nov. 1399-Feb. 1407, Feb. 1422-34, and as commr. of inquiry June 1400, and of array Mar. 1419, but no evidence has been found to identify the recipient of these appointments convincingly.
