General Notes

Sir John de Cherleton, feudal Baron of Powys, Baron de la Pole, Justice of Ireland (so constituted 11th Edw III).

"Owen de la Pole died before October 1293, leaving an infant son, Griffin de la Pole, who died in June 1309, under age, and before he could succeed to his father's barony. Owen left also a daughter, Hawyse (known as Hawyse Gadarn, or the hardy), who was born in July 1291, and was found to be eighteen at the time of her brother's death, when she became heiress of Powys. The king gave her in marriage shortly afterwards to an illustrious soldier, John de Cherleton, who had livery of the barony of La Pole, on the 26th August, 1309. John de
Cherleton was undoubtedly a man of great eminence during the reign of Edward II, and was highly esteemed by that monarch." His genealogy, given in tabular form by Eyton in his _Antiquaries of Shropshire_, ix, 319, shows him to be the son of Robert de Charlton (occurs 1283-1300) and his first wife; Robert de Charlton was son of Robert de Charlton of Charlton (occurs 1220-1265), who was either base son or descendant (indicated by dashed line) of William de Charlton of Charlton.
