John Barre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir John Barre of Rotherwas (* around 1412, † 1483 ) was an English knight .

Life

Sir John was a son of Sir Thomas de la Barre and Alice Talbot, daughter of Richard Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot . The Barre family owned houses and lands in Rotherwas in Herefordshire , Knebworth House in Hertfordshire and Barr's Court in Gloucestershire .

Sir John represented Hertfordshire as Knight of the Shire in Parliament 1445-1447, 1459 and 1470-71. He also sat in Parliament for Gloucestershire in 1450/51 and at the same time served as Sheriff of Hertfordshire.

In the mid-1450s he was considered a supporter of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York , from whom he also received an annual payment of £ 20. From 1459 Sir John turned to the House of Lancaster and fought for Henry VI at the Battle of Northampton in 1460 . After Edward IV's coronation ( House of York ) in 1461, orders were issued to arrest Sir John, but this did not succeed.

In the following years Sir John Barre must have come to terms with the ruling House of York and received pardon, since he fought for Edward IV in 1471 at the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury in the later course of the Wars of the Roses .

Sir John Barre died in 1483 and has his final resting place in All Saints Church in Clehonger, Hertfordshire.
