Members who sat for more than one shire
Out of the 929 individuals who sat in the period 1386 to 1421 as knights of the shire, as many as 95 (10%) were returned by more than one county in the course of their parliamentary careers. In many cases the counties involved were connected for purposes of administration, sharing a sheriff or escheator (these have been bracketed together in the list below); and in most others they were adjacent (shown linked together thus =). However, 30 Members represented shires which were far removed from each other. Given the requirements of the statute of 1413 for MPs to be resident in their constituencies on the date of the issue of the writs of summons, it is of interest to note that the practice of representing different counties nevertheless continued after that date much as before. Individuals returned for more than one shire after 1413 are marked *.
