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]
