Notes: Although not of noble blood, the de la Poles are of honorable origins, the family being long prominent in Hull and through much of Yorkshire. Indeed, Sir William has loyally served the Crown in a variety of capacities, including a magistracy. He is so highly esteemed by his neighbors that when, in 1332 Hull was granted the status of a Royal Town, the burgers elected him their first Lord Mayor, a post which he executed with distinction for three years. The family has many interests in shipping and commerce.
