Who were these members of parliament?

In "Time Honoured Lancaster" by RGK Rigby, which is on Google Books, on
p.486, several de Lancasters appear in a list of members of parliament for
Lancaster in the 14th century.

1. Johannes de Lancastria was one of two members for Lancaster, 33rd of
Edward I, summoned to meet at Westminster 16 Feb 1304-5, which was prorogued
to 28 Feb 1304-5. This is presumably the well-known John de Lancaster of
Howgill and Rydal, who was son of Roger, who was in turn bastard brother of
William III of Lancaster, the last Lancaster Baron of Kendal.

2. Johannes de Lancastr' was one of two members for Lancaster, 35th of
Edward I, summoned to meet at Carlisle 20 Jan 1306-7. Again this must be
Lord John of Rydal and Howgill.

3. Johannes Cort de Lancastr' was one of two members for Lancaster, 20th
Edward II, summoned to meet at Westminster 14 December 1326, prorogued to 7
Jan 1326-7. I guess this could be Lord John, as he was still alive until
1334.

4. Nicholas de Lancastr' was one of two members for Lancaster, 2nd Edward
III, summoned to meet at York 7 Feb 1327-8.

My questions are:

First what does the Cort signify? And is it meant to imply that this is
another John?

Second, who is Nicholas? The families represented in the list are few in
number and interconnected, so you'd think he must be related to John?

Suggest "Cort" is a typo for "Cont".

Is there a reason for you to assume this is not just a different man, named
John Cort, from Lancaster? That would seem the obvious reading.
