• Notes

  John was a man of great wealth and position, who was appointed Justice of England, and at the coronation of King John, June 26, 1199, was girt with the sword, as Earl of Essex, and then served at the King's table). John Fitz-Goeffrey, on the death of his half-brother William in 1227, paid a fine to the King of 300 marks for those lands which were his father's and did by inheritance rightly belong to him, and whereof this last Earl William died seized. In the 18th of Henry III, this John was constituted Sheriff of Yorkshire, and in the same reign was admitted one of the Privy Council, and the same year was one of those sent to the Pope to prohibit his attempting anything therein prejudicial to the interests of the King and kingdom. In eight years afterwards John Fitz-Goeffrey was one of the commissioners sent from King Henry III, with Roger Bigod and others, to the Council at Lyons, in order to complain of the great exactions made upon the realm by the Holy See; the next year he was constituted Justice of Ireland, where for his services he received a grant from the crown of the Isles of Thomond.
