John de Southeray

Sir John de Southeray (1364/5 - c. 1383) was and illegitimate son of Edward III and Alice Ferrers. Froissart calls him alternatively ‘Soudree’ or ‘Soustree’, and says he was the bastard brother of the king of England, Richard II. Chris Given-Wilson notes that there can be little doubt that Froissart was confused in this matter, and that he is actually referring to his ‘bastard uncle’ John de Southeray. If this is accurate, Froissart is also mistaken in listing him as a participant in Gaunt’s campaign of 1386, as Given-Wilson and Curteis indicate that Southeray died sometime in 1383, making it impossible for him to have taken part in the later expedition to the Iberian Peninsula. He did, however, take part in the Portuguese expedition of 1381-2, in fact he was the leader of the mutiny against Edmund of Langley’s leadership of the campaign.
