Fortescue was the eldest son of Sir John Fortescue, captain of Meaux , and brother to John Fortescue judge Sir John Fortescue , lordchiefjustice of England . It is probable that he was a student of Lincoln s Inn , and almost certain that he was elected member of parliament for Devon UK Parliament constituency Devon on 11 November 1421. His appointment as chiefjustice of the common pleas in Ireland is dated 25 June 1426, and for a short period his name occurs several times in the Calendar of the Irish Chancery Rolls . From these entries, which contain all that is known of his career, it appears that a salary was assigned to him of forty pounds per annum, which was soon afterwards altered to forty pence per diem, in addition to the custody of certain manors. Fortescue held his appointment only for seventeen months, and was relieved from it by the king s writ on 8 November 1427. Almost immediately afterwards he was commissioned by the Irish parliament to accompany Sir James Alleyn on a mission to England, to lay before the king Henry VI of England the grievances of his Irish subjects. Again, in 1428, he was sent with Sir Thomas Strange by the lords and commons assembled in Dublin, with the concurrence of John Sutton, 1st Baron Dudley Sir John Sutton , the lord lieutenant, with a number of articles of complaint to be laid again before the king. One of the grievances which he was instructed to represent related to the insults and assaults made upon himself and Sir James Alleyn during their former mission, from which it may be concluded that their first visit to the court ... changes of governors and justices, to the debts left behind them by each successive lord ... of Irishmen travelling in England.
