      =================

      Sir John Grey KG (c. 1387 – August 27, 1439), English nobleman and soldier, was the eldest son of Reginald Grey, 3rd Baron Grey de Ruthyn and Margaret Roos.[1] He was also Captain of Gourney.

      He traveled with the king to France in 1415 and 1417.[1] He fought at the Battle of Agincourt and was invested as the 151st Knight of the Garter on 5 May 1436.[1]

      He married before 1410, Lady Constance Holland (c.1387–14 November 1437), the daughter of Elizabeth of Lancaster, and John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter;[1] the half brother of King Richard II. By her mother, Constance was a niece of King Henry IV. She was the widow of Thomas Mowbray, 4th Earl of Norfolk, whom she had been betrothed to as a 4-year-old child,[1] but the marriage was never consummated.[citation needed] Mowbray was executed at age nineteen due to his revolt against her uncle, King Henry IV.[1]

      Sir John Grey and Constance Holland had three children:[1]
      Edmund Grey, 1st Earl of Kent (1416–1490)[1]
      Thomas Grey, 1st Baron of Richemount Grey (from Ridgmount, Bedfordshire) in 1450. Executed in 1461.[2]
      Constance Grey, who married Sir Richard Herbert.[1]

      After the death of Constance, Grey married Lady Margaret Mowbray, daughter of Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk and widow of Sir Robert Howard, before 1 July 1438.[1] They had no issue.[1]

      Grey predeceased his father, who was succeeded by Edmund.
