You're right! And he was definitely pronounced Mitchelmore.

There's a village near my home town called Michelmersh - pronounced "Micklemarsh" to confuse furriners. I believe Henry V stationed his troops there en route to Southampton and thence Agincourt. (Those were the days when we pronounced the "s" in Calais - but how long before we drop it from Paris?)
