William de Skipwith

William de Skipwith (died after 1392) was a fourteenth-century English judge, who also served as a judge in Ireland. He held the office of Chief Baron of the Exchequer 1362-5. He suffered temporary disgrace when he was removed from office for corruption, but he was restored to favour, became Lord Chief Justice of Ireland 1370-2,[1] and later returned to the English bench. He appears to have been the only High Court judge to have escaped impeachment by the English Parliament of 1388.
