At Cambridge in Apr. 1449; age c. 15. 4th s. of Sir William, Justice, C.P. B. May 28, 1434. M.P. for Newcastle-under-Lyme, 1472-5; for Gt Bedwin, 1477-8. Knighted. Married Ann Beaufort, dau. of Edmund, Duke of Somerset. Brother of John (1435-6) and Clement (1458-9). (Paston Letters, 66, 69; Blomefield, VI. 486; Norfolk Archaeol., IV. 19, where he is styled 6th son.). From Alumni Cantabrigienses; a biographical list of all known students, graduates and holders of office at the University of Cambridge, from the earliest times to 1900, v. 5 (Cambridge University Press, rev. ed., 1940), ed. John A. Venn.

He was at Cambridge and an Inn of Court and practised as a lawyer. His father had left him a little land but he was able to purchase a good deal more. Later he lived mainly at Warwick Inn in London. He was a councillor to the 12th Earl of Oxford and his widow until 1475, then to the Duke of Buckingham, who probably found him parliamentary seats at Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1472 and Bedwin, Wiltshire, in 1478 and 1491. He was a JP in Norfolk in 1465-71 and 1473-4. His grand marriage to Lady Anne Beaufort probably brought him more prestige than money, and he engaged in a long dispute with his nephews over his parents' lands. He died in 1496, leaving two daughters, and was buried at the Blackfriars Priory in London." --- Private life in the fifteenth century; illustrated letters of the Paston family, (ed.
