=== Life Sketch ===
John's career was a spectacular one. [GEC viii. 580-6.] He took part with the Berkeleys in the Despenser war of 1321-2 and forfeited his lands in 1322 as a result, fleeing abroad. He returned with Isabella and Mortimer in 1326 and quickly became a major supporter of the new regime, being appointed one of the keepers of Edward II at Berkeley Castle with his brother-in-law Thomas Lord Berkeley. In 1329, for these and other services, he was granted the inheritance which the last Giffard of Brimpsfield had forfeited in 1322 and was summoned to parliament in 1330. He then became involved in the earl of Kent's so-called conspiracy and had to flee abroad again in the summer of 1330. In the following November Edward III staged his dramatic coup at Nottingham Castle, and one of his first independent acts was to pursue the matter of his father's death. As a result, Mautravers had to stay abroad for the next twenty years. (The Mautravers Estate, National Archives, UK)

1st Lord Mautravers. He was knighted on May 22, 1306, along with his father, at the knighting of Prince Edward. His subsequent career was extremely stormy. He was taken prisoner after fighting in the battle of Bannockburn, 1314. He espoused the cause of Thomas, earl of Lancaster, against King Edward II, which lead to confiscation of his lands and exile overseas. In 1326 he returned to England in the service of the would-be usurpers, Queen Isabelle and Roger de Mortimer, rising high in their favor. He was apparently one of the small group responsible for the murder of King Edward II at Berkeley Castle in 1327. John was summonded to Parliament by Edward III, on January 25, 1329/30, by writs directed Johanni de Mautravers Juniori, whereby he is held to have become lord Maltravers. Early in 1330, he was entrusted with letters by Edmund, earl of Kent, who believed that his brother, Edward II was still alive. John brought the letters to Roger de Mortimer, which led to the arrest, confession, condemnation, and executionof the earl a few weks later. With the fall and execution of Mortimer in October, 1330, John's fortunes reversed. He was sentenced to hanging and beheading, but escaped to Germany, where he lived in obscurity for several years. By 1344 John appears to have become reconciled to the King. This was due in large part to his efforts at persuading the count of Flanders to take the King's side in the struggles against the French. He served the King in Ireland. Edward III sent him on two missions to the city of Ghent. In 1348, he was appointed keeper of the Channel Islands. In 1350 he made a pilgrimage to Rome. In 1351/52 his outlawry was officially annulled and he was restored to his lands.

Note: BARONY OF MAUTRAVERSI. 1. JOHN MAUTRAVERS, 1st son and heir by 1st wife, born circa 1290, was made a knight 22 May 1306, at the knighting of Edward, Prince of Wales. He fought at Bannockburn, 24 June 1314, and was taken prisoner. In October he was returned as a knight of the shire for Dorset, and was going to Gascony on the King's service in Mar. 1319/20. He espoused the cause of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and received several pardons in 1321; but on 6 December his goods were ordered to be seized, and on 5 January 1321/2 he and his brother Edward Mautravers were under order of arrest. He took part in the attack upon and burning of Bridgnorth, and on 16 March fought for the Earl of Lancaster at Boroughbridge. He escaped capture, and appears to have returned home. His lands were seized, but he escaped overseas. He returned with Queen Isabel and Roger de Mortimer in September 1326, and soon rose to high favour, receiving in March and April 1327, for his services to Queen Isabel and the King abroad and at home, Winterborne Hutton and other manors. Early in April he and Thomas de Berkeley received charge of the deposed King, who was then in the custody of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, at Kenilworth, and took him by night to Corfe Castle and thence, via Bristol, to Berkeley Castle, where, it is said, the King was murdered; and at the end of the month he and Maurice and Thomas de Berkeley were sent to Bristol to collect arms for the Scottish expedition, service in which met with much opposition locally. In July he and Thomas de Berkeley were appointed chief keepers of the peace in the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Gloucester, Hereford, Wilts, Hants, Oxon and Berks. In 1328 he was keeper of the castles of Corfe and Corregcennen (Carmarthen), and Steward of the King's household. In 1329 he was Keeper of the Forest south of Trent, and justice in eyre of the forest of Berks, &c.He was summoned to Parliament on 25 January 1329/30 and 23 October 1330, by writs directed Johanni de Mautravers Juniori, whereby he is held to have become LORD MAUTRAVERS. He was summoned again on 15 November 1350. In February 1329/30 he was appointed joint commissioner to inquire of felonies, &c., in London. Early in 1330 Edmund, Earl of Kent, being persuaded that his brother Edward II was still alive, entrusted letters addressed to him to Mautravers, who delivered them to Roger de Mortimer, which led to the arrest, confession, condemnation, and execution of the Earl a few weeks later. The part he had played in bringing about the judicial murder of the King's uncle served Mautravers ill when Mortimer fell from power in October. Mautravers was condemned in the Parliament which met 26 November 1330, and was sentenced to hanging and beheading; a reward of 1,000 marks was offered for taking him alive, and a price of £500 placed on his head, and his lands and offices were forfeited. He escaped by way of Cornwall to Germany, where he lived in obscurity for several years. In 1334 he offered to make a confession, and William de Montagu was sent to interview him. In 1339 he received a grant of £100 per annum, presumably in consideration of his scheming with Jacob van Arteveldt to bring Flanders to the King's side in the coming war with France; and in February 1341/2 his wife Agnes had licence to stay with him in Flanders, apparently on the King's service. In October 1343 he was commissioned to obtain justice from Flemish burgomasters and others for certain merchants of England wrongfully imprisoned in Flanders, contrary to the proclamation. In May and June 1344 he and his son John appear to have been in Ireland on the King's service. For some time past the way had been prepared for his reconciliation with the King, and when Edward III arrived at the Swine in Flanders in July 1345 to meet Jacob van Arteveldt, Mautravers humbly submitted himself, and asked for a trial, as he had been condemned unheard. The King accordingly granted him a safe conduct in August, so that he might appear at the coming Parliament, doing this in consideration of the good place Mautravers had held for the King in Flanders and elsewhere, thereby losing all his goods in the cause and being unable to stay safely in that country. In October he was sent on an embassy to Ghent. In June 1348 he was sent on another mission to that city, and, as John Mautravers, the father, was appointed Keeper of the Channel Islands. In September 135o he and his wife had licence to cross the seas on a pilgrimage to Rome. On 20 June 1351 his outlawry was annulled, and he was fully restored 8 February 1351/2. He married, 1stly, about 1313, Milicent, daughter of Maurice (DE BERKELEY), LORD BERKELEY. She was living 1322. He married 2ndly, before 26 February 1330/1, Agnes, widow of Sir John DE NERFORD (died s.p., 1329), and relict of Sir John D'ARGENTINE (died 1318; see ARGENTINE), and daughter of William DE BEREFORD, of Burton, co. Leicester, Chief justice of the Common Pleas, by Margaret, daughter of Hugh DE PLESCY, which Agnes in 1354 was coheir of her brother Edmund. He died 16 February 1363/4, and was buried at Lytchett Mautravers. His widow, who had no issue by him, was assigned her dower in April 1364. She died 18 July 1375, and was buried in the Greyfriars, London.

He espoused the cause of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and received several pardons in 1321; but on 6 December his goods were ordered to be seized, and on 5 January 1321/2 he and his brother Edward Mautravers were under order of arrest. He took part in the attack upon and burning of Bridgnorth, and on 16 March fought for the Earl of Lancaster at Boroughbridge. He escaped capture, and appears to have returned home. His lands were seized, but he escaped overseas. He returned with Queen Isabel and Roger de Mortimer in September 1326, and soon rose to high favour, receiving in March and April 1327, for his services to Queen Isabel and the King abroad and at home, Winterborne Hutton and other manors. Early in April he and Thomas de Berkeley received charge of the deposed King, who was then in the custody of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, at Kenilworth, and took him by night to Corfe Castle and thence, via Bristol, to Berkeley Castle, where, it is said, the King was murdered; and at the end of the month he and Maurice and Thomas de Berkeley were sent to Bristol to collect arms for the Scottish expedition, service in which met with much opposition locally. In July he and Thomas de Berkeley were appointed chief keepers of the peace in the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Gloucester, Hereford, Wilts, Hants, Oxon and Berks. In 1328 he was keeper of the castles of Corfe and Corregcennen (Carmarthen), and Steward of the King's household. In 1329 he was Keeper of the Forest south of Trent, and justice in eyre of the forest of Berks, &c. He was summoned to Parliament on 25 January 1329/30 and 23 October 1330, by writs directed Johanni de Mautravers Juniori, whereby he is held to have become LORD MAUTRAVERS. He was summoned again on 15 November 1350. In February 1329/30 he was appointed joint commissioner to inquire of felonies, &c., in London. Early in 1330 Edmund, Earl of Kent, being persuaded that his brother Edward II was still alive, entrusted letters addressed to him to Mautravers, who delivered them to Roger de Mortimer, which led to the arrest, confession, condemnation, and execution of the Earl a few weeks later. The part he had played in bringing about the judicial murder of the King's uncle served Mautravers ill when Mortimer fell from power in October. Mautravers was condemned in the Parliament which met 26 November 1330, and was sentenced to hanging and beheading; a reward of 1,000 marks was offered

Writ, 2 April, 23 Edward III [1349].
SOMERSET. Inq. taken at Yevele, Saturday the feast of St. Mark. 23 Edward III.
Yevele. 7a. land called ‘la Nuwelonde,’ held of Elizabeth de Burgo as of the honour of Gloucester by knight’s service.
He held no other lands &c. in the county because, though he lately held the manor of Hyneford of the aforesaid Elizabeth, as of the aforesaid honour, by knight’s service, he enfeoffed thereof on Thursday after St. Luke, 22 Edward III, Sir John le Archer, rector of the church of Wychamptoun, and Martin Bolt, chaplain; which John Archer afterwards released his estate therein to the said Martin, who afterwards on Thursday after the Conversion of St. Paul, 23 Edward III, granted the manor to Wentliana, late the wife of the deceased, for her life, with remainder to the right heirs of the deceased.
He died on Thursday the feast of St. Vincent last [22 January 1349]. Henry his son, aged one year on the feast of the Circumcision last, is his heir.
DORSET. Inq. taken at Blaneford on Thursday, 16 April, 23 Edward III.
Estmordon. Two parts of the manor (extent given) held of the king by service of rendering 8s. yearly at the Exchequer by the hands of the sheriff of Dorset; the value is diminished at present because all the tenants are dead through the pestilence.
Litchet Mautravers. The manor held of the lady de Burgo as of the honour of the earl of Gloucester by knight’s service.
Wynterborne St. Martin. A toft and 60a. land, tenure and service not known.
He held no other lands &c. in the county because, though he lately held the manor of Wichampton of the lady de Burgo, as of the honour of Gloucester, by knight’s service and the manor of Wolcombe of the same lady by knight’s service, he enfeoffed thereof on Thursday after St. Luke, 22 Edward III, Sir John le Archer &c. as in the Somerset inquisition.
Date of death and heir as above.
Writ of plenius certiorari, because the king understands that the manor of Hyneford and the land of ‘la Nuwelonde’ are held of him in chief by knight’s service, and not of Elizabeth de Burgo, and that the toft and land in Wynterbourn St. Martin are held of the heir of John de Bello Campo of Somerset, a minor in the king’s wardship, by knight’s service, 12 July, 23 Edward III.
