      ; per van de Pas: [quote] On 22 May 1306 at the knighting of the Prince of Wales, John was also given a knighthood. On 24 June 1314 he fought at Bannockburn and was taken prisoner. In October 1318 he was returned as a knight of the shire for Dorset, and in March 1320 went to Gascony on the King's service.

He espoused the cause of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and received several pardons in 1321; but on 6 December 1321 his goods were ordered to be seized, and on 5 January 1322 John and his brother Edward were under order of arrest. He took part in the attack upon and burning of Bridgnorth, and on 16 March 1322 fought for the Earl of Lancaster at Boroughbridge. Escaping capture, he appears to have returned home. When his lands were seized he escaped overseas.

In September 1326 he returned with Queen Isabel and Roger Mortimer, soon rising to high favour and receiving for his services abroad and at home to Queen Isabel and the King, Winterborne Hutton and other manors. Early in April 1327 he and Thomas de Berkeley received charge of the deposed King Edward II who was then in the custody of Henry, Earl of Lancaster at Kenilworth, and took him by night to Corfe Castle and thence via Bristol to Berkeley Castle where the King was murdered.

Shortly afterwards, together with Maurice and Thomas de Berkeley, he was sent to Bristol to collect arms for the Scottish expedition but met with much opposition locally. In July 1327 he and Thomas de Berkeley were appointed chief keepers of the peace in the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Gloucester, Hereford, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. In 1328 he was keeper of the castles of Corfe and Carmarthen and Steward of the King's household.

In 1329 he was Keeper of the Forest south of Trent and 'justice in eyre' (sic) of the forest of Berkshire. On 25 January 1330 he was summoned to Parliament by King Edward III as Lord Mautravers. In February 1330 he was appointed joint commissioner to inquire into felonies in London.

Early in 1330 Edmund, Earl of Kent, being persuaded that his half-brother King Edward II was still alive, entrusted letters addressed to him to Mautravers, who delivered them to Roger Mortimer. This led to the arrest, confession, condemnation and execution of the Earl a few weeks later.

The part he played in bringing about the judicial murder of the King's uncle served Mautravers ill when Mortimer fell from power in October 1330. Mautravers was condemned in the Parliament which met on 26 November 1330 and was sentenced to hanging and beheading. A reward of 1,000 marks was offered for taking him alive and a price of £500 placed on his head. As well, his lands and offices were forfeited. However, he escaped by way of Cornwall to Germany where he lived in obscurity for several years.

In 1334 he offered to make a confession and William de Montagu was sent to interview him. In 1339 he received an annual grant of £100, presumably in consideration of his scheming with Jacob van Arteveldt to bring Flanders to the King's side in the coming war with France. In February 1342 his second wife, Agnes, had licence to stay with him in Flanders, apparently on the King's service.

In October 1343 he was commissioned to obtain justice from Flemish burgomasters and others for certain merchants of England wrongfully imprisoned in Flanders, contrary to the proclamation. In May and June 1344 he and his son John appear to have been in Ireland on the King's service. For some time past the way had been prepared for his reconciliation with the King, and when Edward III arrived at the Swine in Flanders in July 1345 to meet Jacob van Arteveldt, Mautravers humbly submitted himself and asked for a trial, as he had been condemned unheard. The King accordingly granted him a safe conduct in August 1345 so that he might appear at the coming Parliament. This was because of the good place Mautravers had held for the King in Flanders and elsewhere, thereby losing all his goods in the cause and being unable to stay safely in that country. Also, it was rumoured about that time that Mautravers was plotting to seize the city of Ghent with the aid of French archers, and this is supposed to have been one cause of Jacob van Arteveldt's murder just after his meeting with Edward III.

In October 1345 he was sent on an embassy to Ghent, and again in June 1348 on another mission. In September 1350 he and his wife had licence to cross the seas on a pilgrimage to Rome. On 20 June 1451 his outlawry was annulled and he was fully restored on 8 February 1352.

He died 16 February 1364 and buried at Lytchett Mautravers. His widow was assigned her dower in April 1364, and died 18 July 1375, and was buried in the Greyfriars, London. [end quote]² EDV-19.
