[1] Chase was Warden of the Hospital of St Bartholomew near Rye in 1420 and was subsequently attached to ee chapel at Jesmond near Newcastle.
[1] Talbot was eventually persuaded with great difficulty to surrender the seal, and Chase returned to Ireland with a fresh patent of appointment.
[1] Due to the more than usually turbulent political conditions in Ireland, which was wracked by the feud between the Butler and Talbot factions, Chase, who had been chosen as Chancellor explicitly because he was a neutral party in the feud, was urged on taking up office not to leave the country unless strictly necessary and, if he must travel abroad to hurry back as soon as possible.
[1] He held several benefices, including canonries at York and Cashel, and spent his last years as parson of High Ongar in Essex, where he died in 1449.
[6] As Lord Chancellor, he is mainly remembered for his petition to the Privy Council that Irish law students seeking admission to the Inns of Court in London should receive equal treatment with their English colleagues, to which the Council returned "a full and effectual response under the Privy Seal of England".
