biography text

To add to the information in the earlier biography,1 The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 34-35. it should be noted that in August 1453 the Pope mandated the bishop of Ely to permit the marriage contracted by Edith Bush (possibly the daughter of Richard Bush*) and Richard Andrew to stand. A papal dispensation was required because of an impediment of spiritual relationship: Andrew’s first wife – her name and date of death are not known – had been the godmother of Edith’s daughter by a previous husband.2 CPL, x. 651-2.
