Notes
- ^ It is not clear if he went down from Oxford because of family financial difficulties, or because of his admittance to the Roman Catholic church.[1]
- ^ The sources vary as to the number of children. Henry Lancaster states in the ODNB (published in 2009) "The couple had one son, Edward Hungerford (1596–1648) and two daughters before Lucy died on 4 June 1598", but in The History of Parliament (published 2010) he states "Bridget, Hungerford’s only daughter from his first marriage, married Alexander Chocke".
