LILIE, Henry

There is a slight irregularity in the entry of the names of Lilie and his fellow Newcastle-under-Lyme MP in 1426, Robert Wodehouse*, in the Staffordshire return. Their names, known only from an endorsement of the electoral writ, have been added in a blank left after that endorsement had been originally drafted. In that first draft the names of their sureties were noted, but not those of the MPs themselves, a further indication that, by this date, such sureties were fictitious.1 C219/13/4. As for Lilie, nothing is known.
