John 4th Baron de Welles Baron Welles 
John 4th Baron de Welles was born in 1334. John 4th Baron de Welles' father was Adam 3rd Baron de Welles , Sir and his mother was Margaret (Eleanor) Bardolf. His paternal grandparents were Adam 1st Baron de Welles , Sir and Joan d' Engaine; his maternal grandparents were Thomas 2nd Baron Bardolf , Sir and Agnes de Grandison. He had two sisters named Elizabeth de and Margaret de. He was the second oldest of the three children.General Notes
Faris in "Plantagenet Ancestry", p. 277 says that John de Welles, 3rd Lord
Welles, married Maud, probable daughter of William de Ros, 2nd Lord Ros of
Helmesley; one of John and Maud's children was John de Welles, 5th Lord
Welles, b. 1352. Faris also states he is a descendant of Charlemagne.
In the article on "Welles" in "The Complete Peerage" xii(2), 441 it ponts out that
the parents of John de Welles (who was born in 1334) died by Feb 1344/5. "John's wardship was granted, 17 Mar. 1344/5, to his presumed mother-in-law, Margery, widow of William (de Ros), 2nd Lord Ros (of Helmsley)." The post-nuptial settlement of his marriage to Maud was also in that year, 1344/5 while he was a minor. It does seem likely that Margery wed her ward to her
daughter.
