bullet  Information about this person:

• Background Information. 1204
John was summoned in 1297 and 1301 to perform military service in person beyond the sea and against the Scots, but was exonerated on one occasion after payment of a fine. He was summoned to Parliament in 1324, and was sent on foreign service in the next year. In 1328 he claimed exemption as a tenant in chief holding by barony from being empanelled on an assize. This John was apparently the last lord of Wolverton to retain the status of a baron. No later lord of the manor was summoned to Parliament, and there are very few subsequent references to the barony, the only relic of which was the rent paid to Northampton Castle. John died in or about 1341, when his son John was over forty years old. The name of his wife is unknown.
