SIR JOHN DEVEREUX, or DEVEROSE of Lyonshall, Dorstone, and Whitechurch Maund in Bodenham, co. Hereford, and Dinton, Bucks. His parentage is unknown, but he was probably a younger son of William DEVEROSE, of Bodenham who died in 1376/7. He joined the expedition of Bertrand du Guesclin to assist Don Enrique of Trastamara against Pedro the Cruel, King of Castile, but was recalled in 1366, with the other English subjects, by the Prince of Wales. He distinguished himself at the battle of Najera, 3 April 1367. Seneschal of the Limousin, 1369 to 1371. He was at the capture of Limoges by the Prince of Wales in Sep. 1370. Appointed Seneschal of Rochelle in 1372. Was defeated and taken prisoner by DU Guesclin at the battle of Chlz? in Poitou, 21 March 1372/3. He assisted the Duke of Brittany in his campaign in that province in 1375. On 20 May 1377 the Prince of Wales gave him 200 marks a year for life, for his services during the Prince's journey into Spain and in the wars in Guienne. On the accession of Richard II he was appointed a member of the Council constituted to act during the King's minority, 20 July 1377. Was appointed Constable of Leeds Castle, Kent, during the King's pleasure, 1 March 1377/8, and for life, 13 March following. The Duke of Brittany granted him 100 marks a year for life, in 1379 or 1380. He was appointed Captain of the town of Calais, 17 January 1379/80, supervisor of the castles and fortalices in the parts of Calais and Guines, 17 April 1381, and a commissioner to treat with the King of France, 20 May and 16 December 1381. He had licences, 24 March 1381/2 and 11 April 1382, to acquire for life, with remainders to his wife and two children, the priories of Frampton, Panfield, and Wells, from the Abbey of St. Etienne at Caen, and the priory of Newent from the Abbey of Cormeilles, paying therefor ?246 13s 4d.

The payment of 310 of the 370 marks mentioned above was remitted 10 September 1385, because the King had made him a banneret and placed him at the Standard. In November 1385 he bought, for ?1,000 from Sir Robert Hereford and Elizabeth his wife, late the wife of James, Earl of Ormond, the castle of Kilpeck, co.

He married Margaret, daughter of John (DE VEER), EARL OF OXFORD, by Maud, sister and coheir of Sir Giles DE BADLESMFRE, of Badlesmere and Chilham, Kent, and 2nd daughter of Sir Bartholomew DE BADLESMERE, of the same [LORDS BADLESMERE].
