Sir John de Shelton (Robert4, Henry3, Ralph2, Nicholas1) His father?s IPM dated 25 August 1306, says his was his father?s son of heir and of full age, above 26 years[18]. This puts his birth as no later than 1280. By 12 November 1306, he had done homage for his inheritance and the escheator beyong Trent was ordered to deliver his lands to him[19]. In 1302, John was found to have a quarter fee in Shelton, held of the Earl Marshall as well as land in Heverlond[20]. In 1309, he presented to the church at Mundham[21]. The Harleian MSS relating to the Knights of Edward I list him as Sir John de Shelton son of Sir Robert de Shelton and Isabel his wife though neither Blomefield nor the Visitation show him as a knight. . In 1316 Sir John is on record as overlord of Weybridge, co Surrey, Stradbrooke co Suffolk, Lord of Illeys, Cumberland, Suffolk and Selthorpe in Nottinghamshire[22] and in that same year also held Fretton cum Shelton in Hardwick[23]. He was summoned to the Great Council in Westminster 9 May 1324[24]. John de Shelton married Margaret ---- also called Maud and the marriage seems to have been very unhappy. He was dead by 1333, for 27 January 1333 a writ was issued from York ordering John de Blomvill, escheator in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk etc to take into the King?s hands, the lands late of John de Shelton, tenant-in-chief[25]. In another writ from Cowick the following 15 March, the escheator was ordered to ensure that any dower assigned to Margaret, widow of John de Shelton was removed from her hands, as the King had learned that she had long withdrawn from her husband to be with her paramour and since she was never reconciled with him, should have no dower[26]. Copinger says that she eventually remarried to Thomas Kenyng.

Known children of John de Shelton and Margaret (order of birth not known)

i. Sir John Shelton: apparently eldest son and heir,

ii. Richard Shelton: He is not mentioned by Blomefield, but the Visitation of Norfolk has him as second son and says that he was warden of the forest of Pickering in 1334.

iii. Robert Shelton: In 1316 Robert and his brother John sold their share in the manor of Heverland to another brother Nicholas[27]. In 1325 he and William Tastard were guardians of John de Lowdham as noted in church records in Frense[28]. In 1333, Robert Shelton, clerk had land in Shelton[29].

iv. Nicholas Shelton: In 1316, as above, he and his wife Alice purchased shares of the manor of Heverland from his brothers John and Robert. Blomefield says that he and his wife Alice had a son Thomas. Possibly the Nicholas de Shelton who along with Sir John Moritz was nominated by Maud, late wife of Eustace Powers as her attorneys in Ireland 4 April 1346[30].
