'''Sir Peter Mallore, or Mallory''' (died c. 1380) was a prominent landowner and local politician in fourteenth-century [[Northhamptonshire]], who also served briefly as a [[judge]] in Ireland.<ref>Ball p.82</ref>
The Mallores were a long established local family: an earlier Peter Mallore, who was the presiding judge at the trial of [[William Wallace]], was a cousin.<ref>Ball p.82</ref> The younger Peter's father married Margaret Wale, sister and eventual heiress of [[Thomas Wale (Knight of the Garter)|Sir Thomas Wale]], one of the original knights of the [[Order of the Garter]]. On Wale's death in 1352 Peter, as the next male [[heir]], inherited substantial estates, including [[Litchborough]] and Weedon Pinckney.
He played a very active role in local politics: he sat on several commissions of [[oyer and terminer]],<ref>Ball p.82</ref> and sat for [[Northamptonshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Northamptonshire]] in the [[English House of Commons]] in 1351/2. He served as [[High Sheriff of Northamptonshire]] in the same year, and was [[knighted]], but failed to pay his accounts, and for failure to pay a Government debt he was imprisoned in the [[Fleet Prison]]. He was quickly [[ pardoned]], having already been pardoned for an unspecified offence in 1346.<ref>Ball p.83</ref>
In 1357 he went to [[Ireland]] with the [[Justiciar of Ireland]], Almaric de St. Amaud, and served for a time as a justice of the Justiciar's Court.<ref>Ball p.82</ref> Sometime after his return to England he became embroiled in a serious conflict with Sir [[Henry Green (English judge)|Henry Green]], the [[Lord Chief Justice of England]], who accused Peter and his son Giles of assaulting him. They were found guilty and imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]], but they were pardoned in 1364 on the intercession of the imprisoned King [[David II of Scotland]], who had also been in the Tower for some years and had evidently become a friend of Peter.<ref>Ball p.82</ref>
For several years Peter lived quietly on his estates, but in the late 1370s was drawn into fresh controversy after his son Giles married Joan Baskerville, widow of Sir Richard Baskerville of [[Eardisley]], [[Herefordshire]], without a royal [[licence]] (which was required for marriage to a widow). They were pardoned for this, but soon afterwards
they were accused of despoiling the Baskerville inheritance, despite the fact that they were guardians of the Baskerville heir, an infant. Peter was required to find [[sureties]] for his son and daughter-in-law's good behaviour. He probably died in 1380 or 1381: his estates passed to Giles, who died in 1403.
