Research Notes:
2nd Lord Howth, of Barony cr 1440 [Ref: CP VI p604]
2nd Lord Howth [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]
Lord Howth [Ref: Paget HRHCharles p23]

Knt, of Howth, Ireland [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]

heir of father [Ref: CP VI p604, Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]

Chancellor of the Green Wax of the Exchequer in Ireland [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]

Clerk of the Common Pleas [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]

1472: elected a Knight of Saint George in Ireland [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p654]

Considering the obscurity that hangs over all the preceeding Lords of Howth and that their achievements are in no way remarkable, it would seem more probable that a peerage should have been created or recognized about 1460 in favor of Robert, who became the Yorkist Lord Chancellor, than of his father to whom the inscription on the monument assigns it [Ref: CP VI p605(a) (with corr in XIV p394)]
