Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Stonor Letters and Papers, 1290-1483, Vol. 1: Edited, for the Royal Historical Society, From the Original Documents in the Public Record Office; Camden Third Series, Vol. XXIX
The elder son of Richard the younger was Sir John de Stonor, who was, with two intervals, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas for five and twenty years. He was the founder of the fortunes of his family and the most no.able name in its history. Since he must have been of full age when he purchased the wardship of Thomas de la Hay at Henbury in and was a. Serjeant-at-law in 1313, he was probably born not later than 1285; and since he did not resign his ofi'ice as Chief Justice till shortly before his death in 1354, it is not likely that the date of his birth was more than a few years earlier.
