Tim,

Per Douglas's previous post, there was an IPM for Geoffrey Po(o)le, in
19 Edward IV (1479-80), currently unpublished and in the PRO.

But that means there was also a writ of diem clausit extremum issued
shortly after his death, which would reveal whatever style/status
(knight vs. esquire) he held at his death. These writs are published
in the Calendar of Fine Rolls.

Unfortunately the UCLA Library doesn't have the Fine Roll volumes for
the years 1471-1485, or I'd check for you when I'm there this Friday.

Sorry I can't be of further assistance.

Cheers, -------Brad
