William Master (MP for Ipswich)

Last updated

William Master was one of the two MPs for Ipswich in January 1380, 1385 and possibly 1395. [1]

Master was an attorney and a merchant, trading wool, wine, cloth and other merchandise.

Master was related to Thomas Master, who also represented Ipswich in 1357.

Master's son, John, was arrested after being accused of theft and an adulterous relationship with the wife of the deputy master of the Royal Mint. It is unclear why Master was arrested as well as his son, and the outcome is unknown. Master procured a royal pardon of outlawry in 1398 after he was sued by a draper for a debt of £6 10s. [2]

Mehmed I, also known as Mehmed Çelebi or Kirişçi, was the Ottoman sultan from 1413 to 1421. The fourth son of Sultan Bayezid I and Devlet Hatun, he fought with his brothers over control of the Ottoman realm in the Ottoman Interregnum (1402–1413). Starting from the province of Rûm he managed to bring first Anatolia and then the European territories (Rumelia) under his control, reuniting the Ottoman state by 1413, and ruling it until his death in 1421. Called "The Restorer," he reestablished central authority in Anatolia, and he expanded the Ottoman presence in Europe by the conquest of Wallachia in 1415.
