Notes - John fought in Scotland (1327, 1335) and France (1342-6).[1] He was imprisoned for three months in 1332 for drawing his knife in the presence of the king, in a quarrel with William la Zouche Mortimer.[1]
John de Grey fought at the Battle of Crecy in France in 1346.[1] This battle was the first in which the longbow played a significant role, changing the nature of warfare from earlier chivalrous attacks to those taking into account the terrain and use of peasant fighters.[4] John was then given permission to crenelate his manors, and was made a Founder Knight of the Garter in 1348.[1]
John de Grey died 1 sep 1359 at Rotherfield, Oxfordshire.[1] The record of his post mortem inquisition shows the extent of his enormous holdings.[5]
