Biography

The different spellings of Lovyn’s name pose problems of identification, but it seems likely that he was related to John Bony^† who sat for Launceston in 1377 (Oct.), and that it was he who, as Richard Bony, stood surety for Roger Trewythenick and John Breton I on the occasion of their election to Parliament for Helston and Lostwithiel, respectively, in 1386. As Richard Lonyn, in 1406 he brought an action in the King’s bench, suing a man from Callington for trespass.1
