The death date given in the profile for this Nicholas is 13 January 1504 in Colwick, Northants. This is probably the death date of his son Nicholas, which is given as 1504 in Colwick in his profile. The biography for this Nicholas gives a death date of 1462 and he was succeeded by his son John who died in 1489 and was in turn succeeded by his brother Nicholas. The death date for this profile should be changed to 1462.
