Notes

At least two men of this name were living in Northamptonshire during our period. John Bosenho of Shutlanger came of a family long-established in that part of the county, and in 1406 he and his wife, Agnes, were confirmed in possession of their estates (CAD, iv. A6777, 8072, 8115-19). In view of Shutlanger’s close proximity to Northampton, it seems likely that it was this John Bosenho, rather than our MP, who had property dealings in the town (Add. Chs. 22369-70; CPR, 1385-9, p. 106; CCR, 1402-5, p. 56).

BORLASE (BURLAS), Andrew (d.c.1413), of Borlase ’Frank’ in St. Wenn, Cornw.
Main residence: Borlase 'Frank' in St. Wenn, Cornw.
Notes

Genealogist (ser. 2), ii. 130 errs in stating that this Andrew Borlase was born in 1358; on the ground that he was aged 45 in 1403 when he provided evidence that John Lanhergy had attained his majority.  In fact, the proof of age referred to (C138/24/60) took place in 1416 and not in 1403; so the Andrew Borlase then present must have been somebody else.
