The following commentary on the above pedigree is from [http://library.uwinnipeg.ca/people/dobson/genealogy/ff/Mainwaring/Munday.cfm The Ancestry of Oliver Mainwaring]:
Most modern compilations ignore the parentage of the Sir John Munday with whom we begin our account.[1] He is is however stated in a seventeenth-century pedigree to have been a son of “Sir John Munday, [vivens?] 1495,” by the latter’s “first wife, Isabel, da. of John Ripes, alderman of London.”[2] While there never was a London alderman of that name,[3] and the pedigree’s statement that Sir John Munday d. 27 May 1538 is not quite correct, it definitely furnishes correct and significant information on the generation of Sir John, crediting him with a brother Roger and nephew Nicholas whose existences are confirmed by John’s will and other sources.[4] Nicholas, the eighteenth-century antiquary, in his History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, mentions that there is a genealogy of Mundy in Dugdale’s Derbyshire Visitation of 1662-63, which we have not seen. In partial corroboration of the seventeenth-century pedigree, he notes:
:The late Thomas Barrett, esq. of Lee, in Kent, had Lydgate’s Siege of Troy, a fine large manuscript of vellum, presented to king Henry V. and the presentation of the book to the king is represented by an illumination. The MS. was given to one of the family of Mundy (probably Thomas or Henry) that was of the bedchamber of King Henry VI. John Mundy, lord mayor, gave it to his son Vincent, May 29, 1534. Afterwards is written “Adrian Mundy,” and again “Francis Mundy, of Markeaton, esq. Sept. 18, 1615.” It afterwards became the property of Lord Somers.

2. “Pedigree of Mundy, of Marketon, co. Derby, and of Osberton Hall, co. Leic., compiled in 1697 by Peers Mauduit, Windsor Herald, and continued, with notes, by the late Rev. Dr. Pegge,” printed in John Nichols, ''The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester'', vol. 4, pt. 2, pp. 525*-526* (so-numbered because they are part of an insert). The existence of this pedigree was pointed out by John Brandon in a posting to soc.gen.medieval dated 11 Sept. 2003.
3. The Rev. Alfred B. Beaven, The Aldermen of the City of London, temp. Henry III – 1912, 2 vols. (London, 1913).
4. “Roger, brother of Sir John Mundy“ is also mentioned in a suit against “John Mundy, goldsmith and alderman of London” see P.R.O. online catalogue, reference C 1/383/15.
