Robert Chichele

Sir Robert Chichele (sometimes shown as Chicheley or other variations) was a 15th-century English merchant and Lord Mayor of London.

He was the son of Thomas Chichele of Higham Ferrers and Agnes Pyncheon, and the brother of Henry Chichele, the Archbishop of Canterbury and founder of All Souls College, Oxford. Another brother, William, also served as Sheriff of London in 1409.

Robert served as an alderman for Aldgate Ward from 1402, when he also served as Sheriff of London before being elected twice as Lord Mayor of London, in 1411 and again in 1421. He received letters patent ordering him (along with then-mayor Richard Whittington) to seek out and imprison any Lollards within the city. In 1414 and 1415 he was Member of Parliament for the City of London as one of the two aldermanic representatives.

Robert was buried in the church of St Mary Bothaw. Through his daughter, Phillippa, he was an ancestor of Sir Andrew Judde, a later Lord Mayor of London.
