• Notes

  JOHN EDCUS (Before 1437-????) "26 March 1440 Windsor Castle Pardon to JOHN EDCUS of Stopford, county Chester, yoman, indicted by conspiracy of his mortal enemies, though guiltless, as is said, of having at Stopford on Monday before Whitsuntide 15 Henry VI (13 May 1437), in company with THOMAS EDCUS late of Stopford yoman, with force and arms coined £40 in groats after the likeness of the king's coinage. By privy seal The like to the said THOMAS By privy seal" (PRO Patent Roll 18 Henry VI ii m.16) NOTES & QUERIES: See also reference in 1441 to John ETGOSE (14??-14??). It is likely that John EDCUS is synonymous with John ETGOSE. Both were from Stopford and both were at one time outlaws. (revised 15.09.2011)
