John Northampton (also known as John Comberton) (died 1398) was a reformist Lord Mayor of London in 1381 and 1382, during dissension in favor of reform of its Common Council in the early years of Richard II's reign. When the oligarchic leaders of London were able to engineer the overthrow of his faction, even the book of records of reform legislation was burned. The mob politics of such radical movements increased the uneasiness of the great about allowing popular participation in government. He had also served as Sheriff of London in 1376-77.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Mayors and Sheriffs of London )〕 ==Family== Northampton was raised in London, son of Thomas and Mariota Northampton. He is known to have had two brothers, William and Robert, and two sisters, Petronilla and Agnes.〔Article by Paul Strohm.〕 He was twice married. His first wife, living in 1371, was named Johanna, his second, to whom he was married by 1375, Petronilla, daughter of John Preston and Margaret Constantine (also spelt Constantyn). By one of those marriages he left a son named James. Northampton became alternatively known as John Comberton in the writings of chroniclers playing on the word ''comber'' (trouble) in reflection of the trouble that opponents thought his policies caused London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Northampton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
