Sir John Burley

This looks like a bash-up between two or more different John Burleys.

This is probably the John Burley of Birley who came of age in 1404 (arguing for a birth date of c. 1383) and died 1428 leaving an underage son William as heir. No information is available as to the name of his wife, or if there were any other children.

The following is from "Lives of the Speakers of the House of Commons", p. 89:

Sir Simon's brother, John, was also a Knight of the Garter, and besides his eldest son, William, who was seated at Burley, had two other sons, Richard, an eminent man in his day, Knight of the Garter, Marshall of the Field, and Privy Counsellor to John of Gaunt, whom he accompanied into Spain, and died there the same year his uncle was beheaded, and Sir Roger, father of John Burley, of Bromcroft Castle, Sheriff of Salop in 1409,[wrong John Burley!] whose daughter, Joyce, became the wife of John de Gatacre, of Gatacre, a family of stupendous antiquity, having acquired the estate of Gatacre (now the principal seat of their lineal descendants), by grant from Edward the Confessor.

“I am assuming here that the 1623 Visitation of Shropshire is right about the wife of John Burley, even though it was wrong that he was the father of Elizabeth and Maud (the father was his son William) and that he was married to Alice Grey, dau. of Richard, lord Grey of Wilton.”

Hawise's sister Amice married Sir John Burley KG (d.c.1383), the elder brother of Sir Simon Burley who was b.1336? (ODNB) and ex.1388. John and Amice had Sir Richard KG (d.1387 in Spain, sp ), William (dsp 1388), Roger (issue failed 1445) and Isabel who m. Sir John Hopton, with issue (descendant Thomas H. s. to Burley properties in 1445),

The Burley family had many branches, HoP tries to detangle ancestry unsucessfully.

It is unlikely that he was the John, 4th or 5th s. of Sir John Burley KG, of Burley, Herefs., bro. of Sir Richard Burley KG (d.1387), and nephew of the famous Sir Simon Burley KG, who was executed by the Lords Appellant in 1388 (CIPM, xvi. 514, 654; CCR, 1389-92, p. 136; Reg. Gilbert Canterbury and York Soc. xviii), 34-36, 109-12), if only because of his marked attachment to one of those Lords, Richard, earl of Arundel. Nor should he be confused with Sir Simon's great-nephew and heir, who, while still a minor, petitioned the parliament of 1401 for the annulment of the judgment of 1388 and for the recovery of the forfeited Burley estates. That John Burley came of age in 1404 and died in 1428, leaving a young son, William, as heir to Birley: RP, iii. 464, 537-8; CPR, 1401-5, pp. 87, 122; CFR, xv. 235; CCR, 1422-9, pp. 430-1; Peds. Plea Rolls ed. Wrottesley, 235.
