• Notes:

  === The Kinnersley Connection ===
  Richard de la Bere clearly had a connection to the Kinnersley family, having by 1340 obtained possession of Kinnersley which was formerly held by Hugh de Kinnersley. It seems likely that Richard de la Bere's mother was a daughter of Hugh. A petition to the pope in 1354 makes clear that Richard had an uncle John de Kynardesley who was a cleric. The following entry refers:
  "Richard de la Bere, knight, the king's envoy. Whereas John de Kinardesley, his uncle, when in his twenty-third year, obtained by authority of the ordinary the church of Kinardesley, and resigned it when twenty-five, another rector being instituted, and after some time again obtained it by institution of the bishop of Hereford, and was ordained deacon, and again resigned it, and for a third time obtained it, being instituted by the bishop as rector, without being ordained priest, out of youthful levity seduced by advice of his friends; he has now finally resigned it, twenty years or thereabouts having elapsed, and being now about seventy, and feeling his conscience burdened with the said facts, Richard prays the pope to remit the fruits received and to grant the necessary dispensation."
  Granted. Villeneuve by Avignon, 7 Kal. Aug. [1354]
  'Volume XXV: 2 Innocent VI', in Petitions to the Pope 1342-1419, ed. W H Bliss (London, 1896), pp. 256-269. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/no-series/petitions-to-pope/1342-1419/pp256-269 [accessed 8 December 2016].
  The register of Bishop Swinfield confirms that John de Kinnersley was presented as rector of Kinnersley on 20 Jan 1304 by Hugh, who was patron of Kinnersley church, and probably John's father. On 27 Sep of the same year John the rector of Kinnersley was given a licence for non-residence for study. On 21 Mar 1316 John de Kinnersely was patron of the church and presented Simon de Kinnersley as rector. Simon apparently resigned later that year and the advowson was gifted to Lady Joan de Kinnersley who once more presented John as rector. Early the following year the bishop ordered an enquiry into the affair.
