• William Erneley of Arundel, Sussex
  • 1458. Wilts. Thomas Clotte /Slotte v. William, earl of Arundell; John Dudley de Dudley, Staffs, knight; Thomas Barette de Arundel, Sussex, armiger; and William Erneley de Arundel, Sussex, armiger. Trespass: jury in respite[1]; [2]
  • 1458. Sussex. William Ernele, armiger v. John Nudegate (Newdigate) de Cranley (Cranleigh), Surrey. Debt for £13/6/8; early process. [3]

Comments: William Erneley thus far appears only in 1458, residence in Arundel, Sussex, and was, from the case of trespass above, plausibly associated with the William FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel (reigned 1438-1487), and Sir John Dudley, Knt, of Staffordshire. This is perhaps an early example of what later came to be a closer association of a member of the ERNLE family with that of DUDLEY as the later solicitor-general, attorney-general, and lord chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas (cjcp)(1519-1520), Sir John ERNLE, Knt, began his career as an associate of the notorious financial agent of King Henry VII, Edmund DUDLEY, but survived his fall to rise in favour as a legal advisor and agent to Henry VII's son and successor, King Henry VIII. See "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", under Sir John ERNLEY for more on this later connexion. External citations
