  Knight of the Garter. Received livery of his lands in the fifteenth year of the reign of Edward II. In 1336 he was fighting for the King in Scotland; in 1342 he took part in the expedition to Flanders. He was in France in 1343, 1345-6, 1348 and again in 1356. He took part in the Battle of Crecy in 1346 with Edward III and his son Edward, the Black Prince, and it was after his return (after the fall of Calais in 1347) that he was given licence to crenellate Rotherfield. In the 6th of the reign of Edward III, upon some differences between his lordship and William la Zouche of Haryngworth, another great baron, which was heard before the King, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew his knife upon Lord Zouche in the royal presence, whereupon both lords were committed to prison; but the Lord Zouche was soon afterwards released, while Lord Grey was remanded and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour. In 1353 he was commissioner of array for the counties of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and in 1356 was one of the witnesses to the charters by which Edward Baliol granted all his rights in Scotland to Edward III. He was steward of the king's household and had summons to parliament from the 1st to the 29th Edward III, inclusive. Was one of the Original Knights of the Garter instituted at its foundation in 1344 and confirmed in 1348, where he occupied the eighth stall on the sovereign's side at Windsor Castle.

In 6th of the same reign, upon some difference between his lordship and William le Zouch of Harringworth, another great baron, which was heard before the King, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew a knife upon Lord Zouche in the royal presence, where-upon both lords were committedto prison; but Lord Zouche was soon released, while Lord Grey was remanded, and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour; and in three years afterwards we find his lordship in Scotland, upon the King's service, being in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Lancaster. From this period for several years he was engaged in the French wars, and in 20th of Edward III he obtained license to improve his houses at Rotherfield, County Oxford, and Sculcotes, County York, with embattled walls of lime and stone. The next year, there being a tournament held at Etham, inKent, amongst other accourtments prepared for that military exercise, his lordship had a hood of white cloth, embroidered with dancing men, in blue habits, buttoned before with pearls, very large, presented to him by the King. In 26th of Edward III, 1352, he was one of the commissioners in the Counties of Oxford and Berks, for arranging and arraying and arming all men of ability within thoseshires, and leading them against the King's enemies, invasion by the French being threatened at that time. In the next year he was steward of the King's household, and had a summons to Parliament from 1326 to 1359, inclusive. His lordship, in his minority, was not in possession of his lands, and they were granted to various persons by the crown, and an inspection of Hardwick and Rotherfield was ordered as far back as 1317, to safeguard his interests. When he was summoned to Parliament, by writ directed to Johanni de Crey, whereby he became Lord Grey. He married 1st Katherine, daughter of Bryan FitzAlan, and had a son John, his successor, and a daughter Maud. He married 2nd Avice, sister and co-heir ofRobert, Lord Marmion, son and daughter of John, Lord Marmion. Robert Marmion died sine prole; being of infirm constitution, he was never summoned to Parliament. He arranged for the marriage of his younger sister Avice to Sir John Grey, upon condition that the issue of Sir John and Avice should bear the name of Marmion. At her brother's death the barony of Marmion of Witrington fell into abeyance between the two sisters, but Joan, the elder sister, married Lord Bernack,and died without issue.
  
  === John de Grey, second Baron Grey of Rothe ===
  John de Grey, second Baron Grey of Rotherfield (1300-1359), soldier, was a descendant of Robert de Grey, brother of Richard de Grey (fl 1250), and John de Grey (c 1266). His father, John de Grey (1271-1312), was summoned to parliament as first Baron Grey of Rotherfield 26 Jun 1297, and was employed during the war in Scotland in 1299 and 1306. He died in 1312 having married Margaret, daughter of William de Odingsells of Maxstoke, Warwickshire. His son John made proof of his age and received livery of his lands in the fifteenth year of Edward II. In 1327 he was employed in the Scottish war. In January 1332, having quarrelled with William le Zouche in the royal presence, he was imprisoned and his lands seized by the crown, but shortly after made his submission, and was restored to favour. Grey was constantly emplyed in the wars of Edward II's reign; in 1336 he was in Scotland; in 1342 he took part in the expedition to Flanders, and was there again five years later; he was in France in 1343, 1345-6, 1348, and 1356. In 1347 he received a license to crenellate Rotherfield and Sculcotes. He was one of the justices appointed to try William Thorpe, the chief justice, for taking bribes in 1350, when he is styled 'steward (or seneschal) of our household,' an office which he still held four years later. In 1353 he was commissioner of army for the counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and in 1356 he was commissioner of array for the counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and in 1356 was one of the witnesses to the charters by which Edward Baliol granted all his rights in Scotland to Edward III. Grey, who was summoned to parliament from 1326 to 1356, was one of the original knights of the Garter instituted at its foundation on 23 April 1344, when he occupied the eighth stall on the sovereign's side. He died on 1 Sept 1359, having married, first, Katherine, daughter of Bryan FitzAlan of Bedale, Yorkshire, by whom he had a son John, third baron (d 1375); and secondly, to Avice, daugher and coheiress of John de Marmion, second baron de Marmion, by whom he had two sons, John and Robert, who took their mother's name.

  BARONY OF GREY OF ROTHERFIELD (I)
  
  SIR JOHN DE GREY, son and heir, was born at Rotherfield, 9 October, and baptized 1 November 1300 in the church there. During minority his lands were granted to various persons by the Crown, and an inspection of Hardwick and Rotherfield was ordered, 28 September 1317, to safegmacrd the interests of the heir. He was summoned for Military Service from 25 March 1322 to 4 December 1341; to Councils 14 September 1340, 12 June 1341, 25 February 1341/2, and 20 November 1342; and to Parliment from 15 November 1338 to 1 December 1357, by writs directed Johanni de Grey de Rotherfeld, whereby he is held to have become LORD GREY of Rotherfield. He had letters of protection, 18 July 1322, on going with the King to Scotland, and on 5 September 1325 on going with the King beyond seas. On 1 September 1330 he had a grant of free warren in his demense lands in Bucks, Berks, and cos. Oxford, Northampton and York. On 16 March 1331/2 Sir Geoffrey le Scropc, who made the King's speech, declared that Mons. John de Grey of Rotherfield and Mons. William de la Zouche of Ashby, then at variance, were commanded to do no violence, but nevertheless hot words passed between them in the presence of the King and his Council, and Grey put his hand to his knife and partly drew it. Both had been sent to prison, and Zouche had been released on bail till this parliament. Grey had been given into the custody of William de Clinton, and was present in that custody. The King asked advice of the Lords in respect of such an excess in his presence, and the Lords returned that they thought Zouche not guilty, and that Grey should be imprisoned during the King's pleasure, but begged the King's mercy for him. He appears to have been pardoned not long after. On 19 August 1337 he had licence to alienate in mortmain to the Friars Minors of Oxford a plot of land. On 20 January 1341/2 he was urgently summoned to London to treat with the Council for what he and his men should receive for their stay at Berwick-on-Tweed, the King desiring that he should have custody of that town. He was in the Crécy expedition in 1346 in the 2nd Division. On 10 December 1346 he had licence to crenellate his dwelling-places of Rotherfield and Sculcoates. He was made K.G. at the institution of that order,and was Steward of the Household, certainly from 1350 to 1356. On 20 May 1354. he had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Cornwell and Kingham (Oxford).
  
  He married, 1stly, before 1 March 1311/2, Catherine, younger daughter and coheir of Sir Brian (FITZALAN), LORD FITZALAN, by his 2nd wife, Maud. He married 2ndly, Avice, daughter of John (MARMION), LORD MARMION, and sister and coheir of Robert, LORD MARMION. He died at Rotherfield, 1 September 1359. His widow, as one of his executors, had a protection, 25 September 1359, in consideration of his good services as Steward of the Household. Mention is made, 28 February 1362/3, of the service in West Tanfield Church according to the ordinance of Avice, late the wife of John de Grey of Rotherfi6ld. She was living 20 March 1378/9, having as dower the manors of Cogges and Hardwick and a moiety of the manor and advowson of Fringford (Oxford).

    Note: GREY, JOHN de, second Baron Grey of Rotherfield (1300-1359), soldier, was a descendant of Robert de Grey, brother of Richard de Grey (fl. 1250) [q. v.], and John de Grey (d. 1266) [q. v.] His father, John de Grey (1271-1312), was summoned to parliament as first Baron Grey of Rotherfield 26 Jan. 1297, and 'was employed during the war in Scotland in 1299 and 1306 (Cal. Doc. Scot. ii. 1819). He died in 1312, having married Margaret, daughter of William de Odingsells of Maxstoke, Warwickshire. His son John made proof of his age and received livery of his lands in the fifteenth year of Edward II. In 1327 he was employed in the Scottish war. In January 1332, having quarrelled with William le Zouche in the royal presence, he was imprisoned and his lands seized by the crown, but shortly after made his submission, and was restored to favour (Annales Paulini, in Chronicles of Edward I and II, Rolls Ser., i. 335). Grey was constantly employed in the wars of Edward III's reign; in 1336 he was in Scotland; in 1342 he took part in the expedition to Flanders, and was there again five years later; he was in France in 1343, 1345-6, 1348, and 1356. In 1347 he received a license to crenellate Rotherfield and Sculcotes. He was one of the justices appointed to try William Thorpe [q. v.], the chief justice, for taking bribes in 1350, when he is styled 'steward (or seneschal) of our household' (Fœdera, iii. 208), an office which he still held four years later. In 1353 he was commissioner of array for the counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and in 1356 was one of the witnesses to the charters by which Edward Baliol granted all his rights in Scotland to Edward III (ib. iii. 317–22, dated Roxburgh, 20 Jan. 1356). Grey, who was summoned to parliament from 1326 to 1356, was one of the original knights of the Garter instituted at its foundation on 23 April 1344, when he occupied the eighth stall on the sovereign's side. He died on 1 Sept. 1359, having married, first, Katherine, daughter of Bryan Fitz-Alan of Bedale, Yorkshire, by whom he had a son John, third baron (d. 1375); and, secondly, to Avice, daughter and coheiress of John de Marmion, second baron de Marmion, by whom he had two sons, John and Robert, who took their mother's name.
