  1. 1.  John Botetourt died on 25 Nov 1324.

    Notes:

    Or Buteturte; Boutecourte; Botecourt; Butecourt.

    "In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leybourne and John Botetourt, as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals--the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth." [Royal Ancestry]

    "He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sep. 1324, by writs directed Johanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt." [Royal Ancestry]

    "A distinguished soldier; Gov. of St. Briavel's Castle, co. Gloucester, 1291; Adm. for the Northern Seas 1294-97, and again 1315. He was one of the Barons who signed the letter to the Pope in 1301, and was sum. to Parl. from 13 July (1305) 33 Edw. I to 13 Sep. (1324) 18 Edw. II, by writs directed Johanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. Gov. of Framlingham Castle, 1314. He joined in the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at Boroughbridge, 16 Mar. 1321/2, for which he was fined £1,000, and was pardoned 8 Oct. 1322. He m., probably soon after 1 July 1285, when she was a minor, certainly before June 1292, Maud, sister and h. of Otes Fitz Thomas, being da. of Thomas Fitz Otes, of Mendelsham, Suffolk, by Betarice, 3rd da. and coh. of William de Beauchamp, feudal Lord of Bedford. He d. 25 Nov 1324. His widow was living 28 May 1329." [Complete Peerage II: 233-35]

    He has been claimed by some (including CP volume XIV) as an illegitimate son of Edward I, a claim dismantled in F. N. Craig's 1988 "The Parentage of John Boutetourt" (citation details below). William Addams Reitwiesner commented on the history of this claim here.
