John Trailly (died 18 June 1400), Lord of Furnells and Yeldon, Seneschal of Gascony, Mayor of Bordeaux, was an English soldier and diplomat.
Trailly was the eldest son of John Trailly (died 1360) and Elizabeth. [1] John was involved in the French campaigns of Kings Richard II and Henry IV of England during the Hundred Years' War. He was member of Parliament for Bedfordshire in 1377 and 1381. He was a member of Thomas of Woodstock, Earl of Buckingham's retinue in 1377 and went with John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster to Spain in 1386. [2] John was Seneschal of Gascony between 1389 and 1390 and in 1397 and was Mayor of Bordeaux between 1389 and 1400.
John married Joan, daughter of Thomas Aylesbury and Joan Basset, they had the following known issue:
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster was an English royal prince, military leader, and statesman. He was the third surviving son of King Edward III of England, and the father of King Henry IV. Due to Gaunt's royal origin, advantageous marriages, and some generous land grants, he was one of the richest men of his era, and was an influential figure during the reigns of both his father and his nephew, Richard II. As Duke of Lancaster, he is the founder of the royal House of Lancaster, whose members would ascend the throne after his death. His birthplace, Ghent in Flanders, then known in English as Gaunt, was the origin of his name. When he became unpopular later in life, a scurrilous rumour circulated, along with lampoons, claiming that he was actually the son of a Ghent butcher. This rumour, which infuriated him, may have been inspired by the fact that Edward III had not been present at his birth.
