Notes for: Robert Wycliffe

The name of this Wycliffe comes from a Wycliffe pedigree in The History of Yorkshire; Wapentake of Gilling West, by Marshall General Plantagenet Harrison (1885). I don't know where Harrison got this information. I can only assume it is guesswork on his part from looking at old records. Harrison's pedigree seems to be the only one that goes back this far; so I will go with it for now.

About him the pedigree says "Robert de Wycliffe, executor to his brother Nicholas's will 13 Henry IV [abt 1412]. Was one of the King's justices at Durham assize 8 Henry V [abt 1421]." No wife is listed.
