Created a knight at the coronation of Henry IV. (1399), and served for the county of Notts, in Parliament repeatedly in the reigns of Henry IV., Henry V., and Henry VI. Thoroton states that his "first wife was Elizabeth, but by others said to be Joane, the daughter of Robert, son of Ralph Staveley or Staley." Both he and his wife are buried in Rampton Church; on the tombstone, she is said to be Johanna, the daughter of Robert Staley. The explanation of the confusion of names is that he was married twice,—first to Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John Longvilliers; secondly, to Johanna Staley, by whom he had divers children, Richard, Thomas, James, Elizabeth, Agnes. Agnes married Robert Strelley, son of Sir Nicholas.
