Notes for: John 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 "John de Wycliffe, an attorney at Richmond temp. Edward II [1307-1327] and Richard II [1377-1399]."
