from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Origin and role in the Second War of the Barons

John de Vaux was a son of Oliver de Vaux and probably his wife Petronilla de Craon . His father was a smaller crown vassal whose possessions included Freiston in Lincolnshire , estates in Norfolk and other parts of England. John de Vaux served as a young knight in 1257 in the suite of the heir to the throne, Lord Edward . 1259 he was still one of the supporters of the heir to the throne, but after the dismissal of Roger of Leybourne from the service of the heir to the throne in 1262 he joined with several other nobles of the aristocratic opposition under Simon de Montfort . In June 1263 he was one of the nobles who kidnapped Bishop Peter D'Aigueblanche from Hereford Cathedral . But already in October 1263 he was back on the side of King Henry III. and from Lord Edward. He supported the king in December 1263 when he agreed to mediation by the French king in a dispute with the aristocratic opposition, and fought on the side of the royal party in the battle of Evesham during the open war of the barons in August 1265 . After the king's victory, he received houses in London confiscated by the rebels in October.

Later activities

After the Barons' War ended, Vaux served as Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk , but in 1285 he owed the Crown over £ 213. Unable to raise that sum, he was forgiven £ 80 of his debt, largely through his service as sheriff were created. 1285 he served as a royal judge and eventually he served as Jean de Grailly the Office of the King's Lieutenant of Gascony held as Seneschal .
