Nicholas Wotton (mayor)

Nicholas Wotton (or Wootton; d. 1448) was an English merchant and official who twice served as Lord Mayor of London, in 1415 and 1430.This marriage brought with it the estate of Boughton Malherbe, which would remain in the Wotton family for generations.He refused to be sworn, asserting the privilege of former mayors and aldermen of London to not serve the king in any other part of the country without their consent.[3] Wotton died in 1448, leaving his widow Margaret and two sons, Nicholas and Richard, and was buried in the church at Boughton Malherbe.[4] As the younger son, Richard, was a clergyman, his inheritance ultimately reverted back to his brother's family.
