Notes for David de Wollere

Born about 1300 based on first mention as a lawyer in the mid 1320s.

David de Wollere was master of the rolls from about 1345-1370 during the reign of King Edward III and held many benefices granted to him by Edward III. Records in the Calendar of Close Roll, Edward III, show that David de Wollore (also spelled Wollovre) was an attorney as early as 1327. David de Wolleie, likely the same man, is mentioned 28 July 1325 as keeper of the rolls of chancery in the Calendar of Close Rolls, Edward II. Records in the Calendar of Patent Rolls show David de Wollore receiving grants from Edward III as early as 1338. 18 Nov 1369 is the date of the last entry showing an action by David de Wollere in the Calendar of Patent Rolls of Edward III.

Pedigrees of Richard Waller, hero of Agincourt, sometimes claim this David as the brother of an ancestor of Richard Waller and claim that this David descended from an Alured, of Newark in the county of Nottingham, who died in 1183. (See the notes of Thomas Waller who lived during the 1300s)

Died Bet. 18 Nov 1369 - 14 Sep 1370.
