The male issue of the chief line of this family having thus failed, the principal branch which continued, was in the person of Sir John Tibetot, son and heir to Sir Pain Tibetot (a younger brother to the last Robert), by Agnes his wife, sister to Sir John Wrothe, knight.
Which[y] Sir John was in so much estimation with king Henry IV that
he obtained many favors from him; being constituted chief butler of England, treasurer of the king's household, seneschal of Aquitaine,
ambassador to the king of the Romans, president of the king's exchequer
in Normandy, and treasurer of that dutchy, chief steward of the king's castles and lordships throughout Wales; and, moreover, had summons to parliament among the barons of the realm, from the 4th to the 20th of Henry VI inclusive, and died the 21st of Henry VI leaving, by Joice his wife, sister and coheir of Edward Charlton, lord Powys,* by whom he obtained a very confidcrable inheritance, *Vid.Charlto, his son and heir, sixteen years of age; who afterwards, viz. the 16th of July, 27th of Henry VI was created earl of Worcester, and the 36th of Henry VI was constituted lord deputy of Ireland. Upon the advancement of the house of York to the throne, in the
perfon of Edward IV. he lost none of his former reputation at court (where, being a man of excellent accomplishments, he had been in no small favor with Henry VI) and was made first justice of North Wales, and soon after constable of the Tower of London, and lord treasurer of the exchequer, and a knight of the garter. He was a man of learning, and wrote divers trads; whereof Bale makes mention.
Note [y] When speaker of the house of commons, he signed and sealed the deed of entailing the crown, the 7th of Henry IV. "Nomine totius communitatis."
He was also a good lawyer, and a soldier; and altogether was a great
statesman. He had many different employments; and, among the rest, was chancellor of England, though at the fame time, made choice of to serve the king in the wars. He was also constable of England. Wherefore, the great power and favor he enjoyed, was sufficient of itself to raise him many enemies; but what contributed the most to his ruin was, that the king caused him, at Southampton, to sit in judgment upon several persons taken in an encounter on board some ships at sea; he adjudged them to be drawn, hanged, and beheaded; twenty of whom underwent the sentence.
