S. Roskell, ‘William Burley’, Trans. Salop Arch. Soc. lvi. 263-72. He was not, however, as stated there and in DNB (iii. 376), the gt.-gt. nephew and h. of Sir Simon Burley KG, who was executed in 1388, for that William Burley was a minor at the time of the death of his father, John, in 1428, and died in 1445 only a few months after attaining his majority: CCR, 1441-7, p. 257; CPR, 1441-6, p. 466; CFR, xvi. 76, 255-6, 325.
