https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Marmion,_3rd_Baron_Marmion_of_Winteringham
John Marmion, Baron Marmion of Winteringham was an Anglo-Norman baron who 
represented Lincolnshire in Parliament and fought in the Wars of Scottish 
Independence.
Ancestry[edit]

He was the son of William Marmion, 2nd Baron Marmion of Winteringham and his wife 
Lorette, daughter of Richard FitzRoy and granddaughter of King John.[2]

Career and Life[edit]

In 1276 John paid homage to the Abbot of Peterborough who granted him his father's 
lands.[3] He was distrained for knighthood in 1278.[4]

Sir John served repeatedly in the Scottish War from 1291 to 1322.[3]

He was summoned to the King's Councils on 8 Jun 1294, 26 Jan 1297 and from 26 Jul 
1313 to 14 Mar 1322[2] and as a Knight of the Shire for Lincolnshire to York on 25 
May 1298.[5]

During the turbulence of 1314 that saw growing friction between Edward II, Piers 
Gaveston and Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster and his large private army, Marmion 
became involved in trouble for reasons not immediately obvious. An arrest warrant was 
issued for both John and his son who lead a group of dozens of men on a raid upon 
the Abbot of Fountains Abbey's land at Aldeburgh and Balderby, Yorkshire.[6] Timber, 
two hundred sheep, fifty oxen and four carts were stolen and the Abbot's servants 
suffered kidnapping, beatings, cuts and had their beards plucked out.[6] The Abbot 
and his monks may not have been entirely innocent having themselves been accused 
of violent assault in 1307[6] and of stealing deer in 1316.[6]

The dispute seems to have been overtaken by events and after the disastrous Battle 
of Bannockburn Marmion was summoned to defend the north against the rampant 
Scots.[5] Forgiveness was forthcoming and on 24 Sep 1314 he was granted licence to 
crenellate his mansion "the Hermitage" in his wood at Tanfield.[6]

The King ordered Sir John to not go to the Earl of Lancaster's meeting of good peers 
on 29 Nov 1321.[3] He was then ordered to bring his forces to Coventry on 28 Feb 
1322 to march against the Earl's adherents.[3] This culminated in the Battle of 
Boroughbridge on 16 March 1322.

Sir John likely died at the battle, or shortly after, as on 7 May 1322[a] an Inquisition 
Post-Mortem was held to assess his estates in Yorkshire which established that he 
owned West Tanfield, Wath, Langeton and Wirton manors and one Knight's fee in 
Exelby.[7] A second Inquisition found he owned Quinton, Gloucestershire, Berwick 
and Wingeton in Sussex, Luddington and Castre in Northamptonshire and Willingham 
and Winteringham in Lincolnshire.[7]

In addition to his manors John also held four Knight's fees at Wintringham and 
Wolingham, one at Keisby and a 1/4 at Trickingham and Stowe.[4]
