Notes:

Suffolk, other creations: Following William de Ufford's death, when the Earldom of Suffolk of the second creation is deemed to have expired, the titles was conferred in 1385, barely three and a half years later, on Michael de la Pole, of a prosperous but bourgeois family from Hull. His career as diplomat and official flourished (he was Lord Chancellor in the mid-1380's) but his being a favourite of Richard II made him unpopular with the more established nobility and he was tried "in absentia" for high treason and on being found guilty forfeited his titles. Shortly before Richard II's own fall the son, another Michael, was restored to his father's honours but this restoration was itself annulled on Henry IV's coming to the throne. Michael managed to make his peace with the new King, however, and had the Earldom restored to him a second time. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2761]

BARONY OF POLE (I)

EARLDOM OF SUFFOLK (V, 1)

MICHAEL DE LA POLE, 1st son and heir, was born about 1330; knighted before 16 November 1353; was in the retinue of the Duke of Lancaster in his attempted expedition to aid Charles of Navarre in 1355 and accompanied the Black Prince in that of 1359. He was summoned v.p. to Parliament 20 January 1365/6 and on to 28 September 1384, by writs directcd Michaeli de la Pole, whereby he is held to have become LORD DE LA POLE. He succeeded his father as above, 21 June 1366; was a Commissioner of array for the East Riding of Yorks and Kingston-upon-Hull, 10 February, and de walliis et fossatis for the waters of Hull and Derwent, 30 July 1367; served again in the French wars from 1369, taking part in the sieges of Limoges (under the Black Prince), September 1370, and Montfont (under the Duke of Lancaster), December 1370-January 1370/1; Admiral of the fleet from the mouth of the Thames towards the north, 24 November 1376 (re-appointed 14 August following)--5 Dec. 1377; Commissioner to receive the castle of Brest from the Duke of Brittany, 9 April 1378, in which year also he accompanied Lancaster's abortive naval expedition against St. Malo.

His favour with the King making him unpopular, he was impeached and convicted in the Parliament that met at Westminster, 1 October 1386, whereby many of his lands were forfeited, he was heavily fined and was committed to Corfe Castle. The King, however, sent him to Windsor, where he was soon released; and the above proceedings were declared void by the judges at Nottingham, 25 August 1387. He was with the King and Robert (de Vere), Duke of Ireland, in Wales and the Midlands during the summer of 1387 and returned with them to London, I0 November.

The Governor of Calais, William Beauchamp, sent him back to the King who again allowed him to escape, this time from Hull, whither the King's serjeant was sent 20 Dec, to arrest him. According to Froissart, he and Vere crossed the North Sea together and landed at Dordrecht in Holland, but other accounts differ. Later he proceeded with Vere to Paris.
