John Ipstones (died 1394) was an English soldier, politician and landowner. He fought in the Hundred Years War and in John of Gaunt's expedition to win the Crown of Castile. He represented Staffordshire twice in the House of Commons of England, including the Merciless Parliament of 1388, in which he supported the measures of the Lords Appellant. A member of a notoriously quarrelsome and violent landed gentry family, he pursued numerous property and personal disputes until one resulted in his murder. ==Background and early life== John Ipstones was the eldest son of〔Roskell et al, (IPSTONES, Sir John (d.1394), of , Blymhill, Staffs. ) – Author: C.R.〕 : *Sir John Ipstones of Blymhill, Staffordshire, son of John de Ipstones or Ipstanes. : *Elizabeth Beck, of Hopton, Shropshire, and Tean, Staffordshire. The Ipstones family were prominent in the affairs of Staffordshire, but had a long history of feuding with their neighbours. John de Ipstones, the MP's grandfather, had a particularly violent reputation and had initiated many of the quarrels which still raged in the last decades of the 14th century. In 1316 he and the abbot of Lilleshall Abbey were in trouble for mobilising a large armed force to prevent the arrest of Vivian de Staundon, known to have stolen a large sum of money belonging to the king, Edward II. In 1324 he was involved in a furious dispute with the Brumpton or Brompton family. This initially centred on the church of St Editha at Church Eaton, where he expelled the incumbent, Thomas de Brumpton, by force and installed his own brother, William, garrisoning the church itself and attacking the manor house, which was the home of Mary de Brumpton. In 1325 Ipstones marched to Stafford with a large armed force during a county muster and a pitched battle between the Ipstones and Brumpton forces took place in the town, "to the great terror of the King's subjects, and against the King's peace.” The next John Ipstones seems to have maintained the feud with the Brumptons,〔 perhaps at a lower level of violence. However, he initiated a new feud which was to continue in his son's lifetime by killing Adam Peshale of Horsley, near Eccleshall, apparently in an attempt to arrest him.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Ipstones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
