• Background Information. 141
John de Sutton, son and heir of Syer de Sutton IV, was born 24 June 1270. In 1293 and 1296 he was engaged in legal proceedings. In 1301, as Sir John de Sutton, knight, he was witness to a charter granting the manor of Sculcoates and land in Sutton. On 14 Dec 1303/4 he had a grant to himself and his heirs of free warren in Sutton, Southcoates and Bransholme. On 5 Jan 1303/4 he was pardoned, by reason of his services in Scotland, for taking hares in the King's warren of Holderness. From 1306/7 onwards until 1338 he was in commissions as John de Sutton of Holderness. In 1312, after Piers de Gavaston had been beheaded, he, with his brother Nicholas, was fined 100 marks and was in prison at York. On 16 Oct 1313 John de Sutton was one of the adherents of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, who were pardoned for the death of Piers de Gavaston. In 1314/5 he was involved in a dispute with the Prioress of Swine for taking her cattle at Drypool. From 1311/2 to 1325 a number of summonses to service and to treat with the magnates were issued; but it is difficult to assign any of them with certainty to John de Sutton of Holderness, though some probably relate to him. In 1317 he and his son were charged with violence at Barton-on-Humber. He fought for the King at the Battle of Boroughbridge, 16 Mar 1321/2. In 1327 he lodged a complaint of trespass on his free warren. On 27 Jan 1331/2 he was summoned to Parliament by writ directed Johanni de Sutton de Holdernesse, whereby he is held to have become Lord Sutton of Holderness; he was similarly summoned until 14 Jan 1336/7. In March 1332 he petitioned the King in Council for the restoration of his ferry at Drypool. On 4 Dec 1335 a commission was appointed on a complaint that he (as John de Sutton, knight, the elder) and others had carried away certain goods at Sutton in Holderness. In 1337, as John de Sutton of Holderness senior, he was party to a settlement by fine of the manors of Southcoates and Sutton in Holderness in connection with his son's marriage.
On 27 Aug 1294 he married Constance, daughter of John Sampson, of Yorkshire. He died on or before 24 Sep 1338. She survived him, and died before 10 Feb 1345/6.
