JOHN NORBURY, Esq., of Hoddesden, Bedwell (in Essendon), and Little Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire, King’s esquire, Knight of the Shire for Hertfordshire, Lord High Treasurer, 1399–1401, member of council for King Henry V, Keeper of the Privy Wardrobe in the Tower of London, Captain of Guines, Justice of the Peace for Hertfordshire, 1413–14, younger son of Thomas de Norbury, of Nantwich, Cheshire, by his wife, _____, daughter and heiress of _____ Pembridge. They had two sons, Henry, Knt., and John, Knt. He married (1st) about 1385 PERNEL _____, by whom he had two daughters, Joan (wife of Nicholas Uske and William Parker) and Elizabeth (wife of John Hende and Ralph Boteler, K.G., Lord Sudeley [see SUDELEY 14.iii]).
Joan's 1st husband, Nicholas Uske, Treasurer of Calais, died testate in 1403. The marriage of Nicholas and Joan must have been recent to 1403, as Nicholas Uske had a wife named Alice as late as 1397 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 5 (1904): 52]. For evidence that Nicholas Uske's wife, Joan, was John Norbury's daughter, see the partial abstract of Uske's will published in Collectanea Franciscana 2 (1922): 83, available at the following weblink:

Norbury’s close relationship with Derby (cemented by the marriage of his daughter, Joan, to Nicholas Usk, the treasurer of Gaunt’s household) prompted him to join his patron in exile; and in June 1399 he witnessed a secret agreement drawn up in Paris between him and Louis, duke of Orléans, for their mutual protection and support. Norbury and his wife, Petronilla, had by then been awarded a joint annuity of 40 marks from the earl’s estates in Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire, and it appears from the wording of the grant that ‘nostre treschere demoysele, Petronelle’ was herself closely connected with the Lancastrian establishment.12

His widowed daughter married the prominent mercer, William Parker I*, and he was himself a close friend of John Hende, one of the King’s leading creditors. The plans for his daughter’s remarriage, after Parker died, to Richard, Lord Saint Maur (which were frustrated in 1404 by her own early demise), show how far he had risen up the social ladder, as, indeed, does his own second marriage, by about 1410, to the daughter of Sir Thomas Butler, heir to the barony of Sudeley.

Family and Education

m. (1) bef. c.1383, Joan (d. by Apr. 1396), 3s. inc. William II*, 1da.; (2) by Aug. 1400, Joan, da. of John Norbury* by his 1st w. Petronilla; 1s. 1da. illegit.1

Parker was buried in the parish church of St. Lawrence Jewry, next to his first wife, Joan. Between them, his widow and Joan’s four children shared bequests of £2,333 in cash and over £80 in plate. Other legacies, to religious houses, the Mercers’ Company, friends, servants and kinsmen, as well as his illegitimate son and daughter, came to well over £630, quite apart from quantities of jewellery, plate and rich apparel. In his first will, of August 1400, he entrusted his youngest son, John, to the care of the mercer, Edmund Man, while the two elder boys and their sister were to remain under the surveillance of their stepmother’s father, John Norbury. As we have seen, negotiations were begun in March 1404 for the marriage of Parker’s widow to Lord Saint Maur, but despite the fact that Norbury and Saint Maur had entered into mutual recognizances in £2,000 to implement their arrangements, the match never took place—possibly because of Joan’s early death.
