      BARONY OF FITZWALTER
      VI. 9. JOHN (RADCLIFFE), LORD FITZWALTER, son and heir, born 1 January 1451. On 24 September 1485 he had special livery of the lands of his mother, and of others, his ancestors, without proof of age, saving to the King homage, fealty, and the relief due: with pardon for all entries thereon, made, without licence, by him or by any of his said ancestors. He was appointed Steward of the King's Household, before 19 October 1485. On 14 January 1485 he was appointed joint Warden and Chief Justice of the King's forests South of Trent, and, 25 February following, of all the King's forests, for life. He was granted the office of Steward of the lordships of Saham Toney, Little Cressingham, Ovington, Panworth, and Necton, and the hundreds of Wayland and Grimshoe, &c., Norfolk, 1 March 1485/6, for life. On 10 November 1487 he was appointed a commissioner to discharge the office of Steward of England at the Coronation of Elizabeth, Queen Consort. He was summoned to Parliament from 15 September 1485 to 12 August 1495, by writs directed Johanni Radclyff', or Ratclyff', de FitzWauter. He married, 1stly (it is said), Anne, sister of Richard WHETEHILL, Of Calais. He married, 2ndly, Margaret. In the last Parliament to which he was summoned, viz., that commencing 14 October 1495, he was attainted of high treason as a confederate of Piers, or Perkin, Warbeck, and was adjudged to have forfeited all that he possessed, whether held in fee simple, fee tail, or for life. His life was spared, and he was sent a prisoner to Guines: having made an unsuccessful attempt to break prison, he was beheaded for this and his former offences, at Calais, about 24 November 1496.
