Notes
It is very easy to confuse this MP (described in the return for 1417 as ‘John Butler junior, mercer’) with John Butler the elder, a less influential and only slightly older member of the same livery company. The problem of identification is compounded by the existence of a John Butler, draper of London, who can first be identified in May 1395 and who died, a very rich man, in 1436 (E179/238/90; Corporation of London RO, hr 123/120, 195/49; PCC 23 Luffenham). He succeeded the subject of this biography as sheriff of London in 1420 (being then described as ‘commoner and draper’: Cal. Letter Bk. London, I, 245), and may well have been another of his kinsmen.
