About Sir John de la Warre, 1st Lord of Bristolton

John was granted Wicken Manor by Prince John, the Earl of Gloucester, as reward for his loyalty and bravery in 1185. This was in fulfillment of a promise made by King Richard. After the de la Warres assumed ownership of Wicken Manor, it became known as Wickwar Manor. In 1207, after Prince John became King of England, Sir John received ratification of the grant for the title of Lordship of Bristolton, Gloucestershire. In April 1205, John was given command of a flotilla of seven British ships as shown by the British navy report. He was a member of the Honor of Gloucestershire. His son, Jordan, became the next Lord de la Warre.
