Of which Sir Roger and Bona issued
Sir John de Northwode. The said Roger died the 9th
day of November, in the year of our Lord 1286, and
the fifteenth 5 year of the reign of Edward, son of the
aforesaid King, and he and the said Bona are buried
before the altar of the parish church of Menstre, in
Shepeye. And the said Sir John succeeded him as son
and heir, and did homage and relief to the said Lord
Edward, late King of England, for his lands coming
to him by inheritance after the death of the said Sir
Roger, as appears among the Records of the Exchequer,
in Easter Term, the eighteenth year of the foresaid
Lord Edward. Which Sir John married the Lady Joan
de Badlesmere, lady of, the manors of Horton near
Canterbury, and Beausfelde near Dover in the county
of Kent; she possessed also certain tenements in Southwerke,
in the county of Surrey, and rents in the city
of London. Of which Sir John and Joan issued Sir
John, the eldest son, James, Thomas, Richard, Simon,

And, by
the office taken at Sydyngborne, on the Friday and year
aforesaid, after the death of the said Joan, it was found
that she died seized in her demesne as of fee, in the said
manors of Horton and Beauesfeld, with their pertinencies;
and also that the said Roger, then twelve years old, son
of Sir John, the elder son of the said Joan, was heir to
the foresaid manors with their pertinencies, and so those
manors only were the inheritance of the said Joan.
And, forasmuch as the manots of the said late Sir John,
grandfather of the said Roger, were held of the Lord the
King in capite; by reason of the minority of the said
Roger, the said Lord the King Edward, son of King Edward,
seised all the manors, lands, and tenements pertain·
ing to the said Roger the heir into his own hands, and so
they remained till the 20th day of June in the thirteenth
year of his reign, on which day, by his letters patent
he committed the custody of the foresaid lands and tenements,
together with the marriage 13 of the said heir,
to Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere, Knight, to hold till
the legal age of the said heir; who sold that marriage
to the Lady Idonia de Leybourne, late wife of Sir Geoffrey
de Say the elder ; which Sir Geoffrey begat of the
fotesaid Idonia, Sir Geoffrey de Say, Sir Rogex de Say,
Juliana de Say, and Isabella de Say, as I have been told
by many; among them, by John Wantynge, who was the
Esquire and Secretary of the said Sir Geoffrey the son,
and knew them all personally.

John Northwood , who became the first Baron Northwood, was an English landowner, soldier and administrator from Kent.[1][2]
Origins
Born on 24 June 1254, he was the son and heir of Roger Northwood,[1] who died on 9 November 1285, and his first wife Bona Waltham.[2]
Career
In 1278 he had a position in the household of Robert Kilwardby, Archbishop of Canterbury and,[2] after succeeding his father in 1285, was chosen as High Sheriff of Kent in 1291, sitting also on the commission of oyer and terminer for the county. Further tenures as sheriff followed in 1299 and 1304,[1] the third being accepted reluctantly. Summoned by King Edward I to an urgent assembly of notables in 1294, he was excused joining the military expedition to Aquitaine.[2] However he was summoned to the war in Flanders in 1297 but may not have attended in person, being an assessor of tax for Sussex that year. From 1298 to 1319 he was regularly summoned to the war in Scotland, serving in person or sending deputies, and combined these duties with a wide range of administrative posts in his native Kent.[1]
After being knighted by the King at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, he and his wife were invited in 1308 to the coronation of the new King Edward II.[2] In 1313 he was summoned to Parliament as a baron, which can be taken as the creation of a hereditary peerage, and was continuously summoned for the rest of his life. In 1317 he and his eldest son were deputed to escort two cardinals from Dover to London, on a mission from the Vatican to help negotiate a peace between England and Scotland, and in 1318 he was referred to as one of the country's “major barons”.[1]
He died on 26 May 1319 and is commemorated by a brass in the church of Minster-in-Sheppey His arms, recorded on the Parliamentary roll, were: ermine, a cross engrailed gules. His eldest son having died before him, his lands and title were inherited by his grandson Roger.[1]
Family
About 1275 he married >>>> Joan Badlesmere, daughter of Sir Guncelin Badlesmere <<<< , and they had six sons. She died on 2 June 1319, a week after her husband, and is also commemorated by a brass at Minster-in-Sheppey.[1]
Their eldest son was John Northwood, who in 1306 married Agnes Grandison , daughter of William Grandison, 1st Baron Grandison, but died before his father in 1318. His eldest son was Roger Northwood, 2nd Baron Northwood, and another son was the cleric and academic John Northwood.[1]
