Notes:

Knight of the shire for Northamptonshire. Mayor of Bordeaux. His ancestry appears to be the subject of a great deal of confusion.

From Colin Richmond (citation details below): "Anne of Bohemia, Richard's queen, gave [John Paveley and his wife Isabel] an additional annuity of £20; Anne confirmed the annuity to Isabel in 1394 after Sir John's death. The £20 continued to be paid to Isabel and, when she remarried Sir John St. John, to her and her husband until December 1422." Thus John St. John and his wife Isabel, formerly the wife of John Paveley, must have died after 1421, possibly in 1422 and possibly later.

John married Isabel after 8 Feb 1395. Isabel was born about 1374; died after 1421. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Richardson and Stallard (citation details below) both have her as Isabel Paveley, daughter of John Paveley of Northamptonshire, but this would seem to be disproved by the 21 Sep 1414 IPM of "Joan widow of John Paveley, Knight" which says that "On 8 Feb. 1395 Lewis de Clyfford, Richard Stury and Thomas Latymer, knights, Richard Dudley, John Warwyk and William Lane, chaplain, by their deed shown to the jurors, granted the manor and advowson of Paulerspury, which John Paveley, knight, had granted to them, to Joan his widow to hold to herself for her life and to her executors for 1 year more, without impeachment of waste and with remainder to themselves. This reversion they granted to Isabel, then wife of John Paveley junior, knight, and now the wife of John Seynt Johan, to hold to her and her heirs and assigns." So the Isabel that John St. John married was "Isabel Paveley" because of her prior marriage to the junior John Paveley, and her parentage is in fact unknown.

Colin Richmond, citation details below, provides much further detail confirming the above.

John married Edith Stourton before 1410. Edith (daughter of John Stourton and Alice) died on 13 Jun 1441. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Knight of the shire for Bedfordshire, 1399; Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, 1401-2.

Escheator for Somerset and Wiltshire, or for Dorset and Wiltshire (accounts differ). Constable of Corfe Castle, 1380.

John married Alice before Mar 1374. Alice died in 1407. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Complete Peerage volume 14, the additions-and-corrigenda volume, notes that this Roger Beauchamp marriedly, secondly, Joan, daughter and heir of Sir Walter Clopton, widow of Sir Walter Walcot of Gunton, Norfolk. CP14 further notes that Joan cannot have been the mother of Roger's heir Roger, who was born in 1362, because Walter Walcot didn't die until 1366.
