Notes
At least one other man of the same name is known to have lived in Staffs. during the early 15th century. A John Biddulph the elder appears in 1405-6, and it was possibly he rather than the subject of this biography who was active elsewhere in the county at this time (Wm. Salt Arch. Soc. xii. 258; xv. 91, 96; xvi. 48, 53; CPR, 1396-9, p. 398; CCR, 1402-5, p. 383; 1405-9, p. 221).
