Biography
John Tuchet, 4th Baron Audley, 1st Baron Tuchet (23 April 1371 — 19 December 1408) was was the son of Sir John Tuchet, called "Baron Audley", and his wife Maud, widow of Sir Richard de Willoughby. His paternal grandparents were Sir John Tuchet (1327—1371) and his wife Joan Audley (1331–1393, daughter of James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley and first wife Lady Joan Mortimer).

John was summoned to Parliament as Baron Tuchet in 1403 and received one-third of the share of the barony of Audley.[1] In 1408 the Barony was revived, and John Tuchet became 4th Baron Audley.
He married Elizabeth Stafford, daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford and Alice Grenville.[2][3]

Magna Carta Project
- John Tuchet appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor John Bevan to Magna Carta Surety Baron Richard de Clare (vol. I, pages 190-192 BEVAN). This trail needs further development by the Magna Carta Project and is outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.
- Needs Source Check: It appears the biography is largely from Lewis's database, which draws heavily on Richardson's works. The information needs to be verified and footnotes added/edited as appropriate. ~ Noland-165 20:44, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Needs Development: This profile needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Thiessen-117 23:49, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

[Calendar Close Rolls RII] 23 December 1391 Westminster. Memorandum of a protest made by John Tochet, appearing in person in chancery, that he shall not by colour of this livery be hindered or barred from suing for livery of a third part of two thirds the manor and advowson of Toustoke, concerning which a plea is yet pending without debate in chancery.
[Calendar Fine Rolls RII] 24 January 1392 Westminster. Order to James de Chuddelegh, escheator in the county of Devon, pursuant to an inquisition which the king caused to be made by Walter Cornu and Thomas Afton shewing that Nicholas Audelegh of Helegh, 'chivaler,' held of the king in chief in his demesne as of fee tail two-thirds of the manor of Taustok and the advowson of the church of the said manor as parcel of the barony of Barnestaple, by the service of an eighteenth part of a barony, and that Loretta, late countess of Leicester, gave the manor and advowson to Maud, her niece, daughter of William de Brause, her brother, in tail, and that from Maud they descended to Joan [Eva, wife of Nicholas II Martin], her daughter and heir, and from Joan to William Martyn, chivaler, her son and heir, and from William to Joan and Eleanor, his daughters and heirs, (of whom Eleanor died without issue), and from Joan to James Daudeley, her son and heir, and from James to the said Nicholas, his son and heir, and that Margaret, one of the sisters and heirs of Nicholas, whom Roger Hillary, knight, has taken to wife, John Tochet the son of John the son of Joan, his second sister, and Fulk Fitz Waryn the son of Fulk the son of Margaret, his third sister, are his next heirs, Margaret wife of Roger being of full age and the others minors, to take the fealty of the said Roger, make a partition of the premises into three equal parts, and cause Roger and Margaret to have full seisin of Margaret's pourparty thereof, retaining the other pourparties in the king's hand until further order.
[Calendar Inquisitions Post Mortem HIV V19] 588 John Tuchet, knight. Commission of inquiry to John Daneys and John Fray. 30 December 1408. Lincoln – He held the manor of Sapperton in his demesne as of fee and enfeoffed Thomas Tuchet, parson of Mackworth, and John Tuchet, clerk, with the intention that after his death they should enfeoff his heir in fee simple when he reached full age. If no heir reached full age they should enfeoff John, brother of Thomas, on condition that he took the name and arms of John Tuchet, knight. After the grant he continued to take the issues and profits to his own use. He died on 19 December last. James his son and heir was aged 10 years on 26 December.
Of the options for his mother among existing WikiTree profiles, I think Maud de Grey more likely than Margaret Mortimer.
Any objection if I change his mother to be Maud Grey?
(See also Mortimer-48 & comments on her profile for background that leads me to say she's not the best choice for his mother.)
