Augustinian Canon - His grandmother Maude Muschamp refers to 'Petre the Chanon' in her will (written in 1498) - it is not clear if it is this Peter or another. She refers to 'William his brother' and this Peter had a brother William, but William was such a common name that was quite likely if it were another Peter.
I suspect it was this Peter - her husband, had he lived, would have been quite elderly by this time, and any brothers of his would probably also have been elderly, and I doubt they would have been made beneficiaries by Maude. If leaving bequests to nephews it would be more likely she would have chosen her own rather than those of her husband.
A Canon, Peter Muschamp, was mentioned in a visitation of Newark Priory in 1501:
"Dr. Hede, as commissary for the prior of Canterbury, visited Newark Priory on 25 April 1501, during the vacancy of the sees of both Canterbury and Winchester. A certificate was exhibited by Canon Christopher Bold to the effect that Lawrence Harryson the prior was absent on a pilgrimage to St. James (of Compostello). The canons were then severally examined. William Baxter, sub-prior, testified to the good and spiritual condition of the house; when asked as to its temporal estate he said he could not reply, as the present prior did not render the accounts of the priory; the seal was left under four keys in the respective custody of the prior, sub-prior and two of the senior canons. Christopher Bold, George Swift, William Hurton, William Morton, Peter Muschamp, and Nicholas Broddoke had no complaints, but knew nothing of the financial position of the house. William Lanley and William Horrow were content to testify omne bene, and John Johnson said that the annual rents of assize amounted to 300 marks and that the house was not in debt."
