BARONY OF SAINT JOHN (I)
JOHN DE ST. JOHN, son and heir, was aged 28-30 in October 1302 (g). He served with his father in his 2nd campaign in Gascony (h). Summoned for service in Flanders, 1297, and against the Scots, 1299 onwards till 1328 (a). Summoned to Parliament 29 December 1299, by writ directed Johanni de Sancto Johanne juniori, from 12 November 1303 to 5 August 1320 omitting "juniori," and 14 March 1321/2 to 10 October 1325 with the addition of "de Basyng," whereby he is held to have become LORD ST. JOHN (of Basing). A banneret, January 1303/4. In 1316, Keeper of the Peace, Hants; in 1321, ordered not to attend the meeting of the "Good Peers"; in January 1321/2 he was going to the Marches of Wales on service; Odiham castle was committed to him in 1322; summoned for service in Gascony and Guienne, 1324 and 1325, and appointed a commissioner for defence of the coast of Hants. He evidently attached himself to the Queen's party on her return to England. He married, 1stly, v.p., Isabel (said to be daughter of Sir Hugh [DE COURTENAY), who was living in February 1322/3. He married, 2ndly, Alice ----. He died shortly before 4 April 1329. His widow had writ for her dower, 15 October; and, 22 June 1333, licence to marry (as his 2nd wife) Sir Reynold DE PAVELY, who died in 1347, presumably surviving her. [Complete Peerage XI:325-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(g) His father's inq.p.m.
(h) Having, in 1316, for their good service there and elsewhere, a quittance of half his father's and his own debts to the Exchequer for the time they were there. Possibly it was the son and not the father who was hostage for the release of the King of Sicily.
(a) He was more than once thanked for his good service there. He was Join Warden of Galloway 1306-8; in 1309 Keeper of Bothwell Castle. It is probably he who was in Scotland in 1296 with Henry de Percy; and was setting out for Scotland with the King in 1322.
(d) In Nov 1326 he and (his brother) Sir Edward, with William la Zouche (Lord Zouche) brought to the Queen, in the Bishop of Hereford's palace, four sealed bags containing rolls and memoranda of the Chancery, which they had taken in Swansea castle; and which were delivered to the keeper of the Chancery.
