In about 1404 Lisle petitioned Henry IV about the annuities of £40 and £30 that Richard II had bestowed on him and his wife respectively, as well as the grant of two tuns of wine each year that he had received from Henry himself, all of which had fallen into arrears. The petition was accepted, and in due course the Exchequer was ordered to pay him the arrears of the annuity of £40 and the bailiffs of Oxford the arrears of that of £30.2 SC8/332/15771.
Not previously noticed is Lisle’s involvement in a couple of property transactions in London, although it is unclear whether he was acting for himself or as a feoffee. First, in 1409, he, along with Richard Clifford and Geoffrey Dale, clerks, and John Carlton of London, received a demise of two shops in Lime Street from the cordwainers George Benet and John Tebaude. Secondly, nearly 20 years later, the tailor Richard Chipenham and his wife conveyed two inns in the parish of St. Botolph Billingsgate to him, the mercer Robert Large* and others.3 Corp.
