John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln (1484-5) should be added to this list (see "Richard III: The Maligned King", Annette Carson p.242). It seems that Richard created the Council at this time just after his son died and his own position from 1471-3 was slightly different because the Council didn't formally exist. Compare this point with Julius Caesar being described as "Emperor". He wasn't, even though his adoptive son was and Suetonius included him in the "Twelve Caesars". I may edit the list of Council Presidents later but am not confident of tabulating the data properly. Hopefully, someone else will. User:Smlark
