John De Warrenne, 7th Earl of Surrey
by name Earl Warenne, also called (incorrec tly) Earl Of Sussex eminent En
glish lord during the reigns of Henry III and Edward I of England. Jo
hn De Warrenne was son and heir of the 6th Earl, William de Warenne, and s
ucceeded upon his father's death in 1240. (He and his family claimed the e
arldom of Sussex but never held it De jure.) He married Alice de Lusigna
n, half sister of Henry III; and, except for a brief period in 1262 –6
3, he strongly supported his friend the young lord Edward (afterward Edwa
rd I) during the Barons' Wars. In 1264 he defended Rochester Castle again
st Sim on De Montfort until relieved by Edward. They then repaired to Ware
nne's town of Lewes, where the royal army was defeated (May 1264), and War
enne escaped to France. In 1265 he landed in Pembroke with Henry III's ha
lf brother Willia m De Valence and took part in the campaign that end
ed at the Battle of Evesha m (Aug. 4, 1265) with Montfort's death. The suc
cessful claim of Warenne's son-in-law John De Balliol to the throne of Sco
tland gave Surrey a strong interest and a leading part in Scottish affair
s. However, after the treaty between Scotland and France in 1295, Edwa
rd I invaded Scotland in 1296, and Warenne won the Battle of Dunbar. Edwa
rd I then appointed him keeper of the realm of Scotland, but in 1297 he w
as defeated by William Wallace at Stirling Bridge. He fought in Edward's l
ater campaigns in Scotland and took part in the victory at Falkirk (1298).
3rd Earl of Surrey and Sussex; Earl of Warren
Cokayne says:
"This noble was but five years of age at the time of his father's deceas
e, and was placed in ward with Peter de Savoy, the Queen's brother. Wh
en he attained majority, he atttached himself zealously to Henry III in h
is conflicts with the barons, and maintained the cause of the king with h
is sword at the Battle of Lewes. His lordship was a person of violent a
nd imperious temper, and was often betrayed into acts of great intemperanc
e; as in the instance of assaulting Sir Alan Zouch, and Roger, his so
n, in Westminster Hall, when he almost killed the one and wounded the othe
r. And again, when Edward I issued the first writs of Quo Warranto, his lo
rdship being questioned as to the title of his possessions, exhibited to t
he justices an old sword, and unsheathing it, said 'Behold, my lords, he
re is my warranty, my ancestors coming into this land with William the Bas
tard, did obtain their lands by the sword, and I am resolved with the swo
rd to defend them, against whomsoever shall endeavour to dispossess me; f
or that king did not himself conquer the land, and subdue it, but our prog
enitors were sharers and assistants therein.' The earl was constitute
d, by King Edward, general of all his forces on the north of the Trent, f
or the better restraining the insolence of the Scots; whereupon he march
ed into Scotland, and so terrified the inhabitants that they immediately s
ued for peace, and gave hostages for their future good conduct. But the w
ar soon after breaking out afresh, his lordship sustained a signal defe
at at Strivelin, when his troops fled first to Berwick, and thence into En
gland."
