Notes:

Name:
Richard, who became a Prebendary of St. Paul's, and in 1338 was elevated to the Bishopric of London, and in the same year, being in the reign of Edward III., was made Lord High Chancellor of England. This is the first recorded instance of the official dignities that were common enough in the family. So far as the State was concerned, his position was second only to that of the King himself; and the Bishopric of London, at that time holding even higher rank than it does now, was exceeded only by the Archbishoprics of Canterbury and York. Bishop and chancellor Wentworth did not, however, long enjoy his dignities, as he died in 1339, the year succeeding his elevation.
