Notes for: Henry 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 "Henry de Wycliffe, was a man-at-arms in the retinue of Sir William Bowes, Knight, at the battle of Agincourt, 3 Henry V [1415], and was at the muster of the English army at Southampton, 8 Henry V [abt. 1421]. He had a wife and children, but they were not listed."
