John Hardhead (fl.
The Hardheads had become a well-known family in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
In June 1411, along with others including John Mynors (MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme and Staffordshire), Hardhead was arrested for a murder in Featherstone, Staffordshire and armed assaults against many people in Wolverhampton.
He was eventually absolved in May 1415, after refusing to attend court on many occasions.
