John Tuchet, great nephew and coheir, being son and heir of John Tuchet, who was son and heir of Sir John Tuchet of Markeaton, co. Derby, (slainat Rochelle, 1371), by Joan, sister of the whole blood of Nicholas, 3rd Lord Audley. He was born 23 April 1371, and was 20 years old at the death of his said great uncle, in 1391, to whom he was found one of his next heirs. He was in the Welsh wars against Glendower, and was summoned to Parliament as a Baron (Lord Audley) 20 Oct 1403 to 26 Aug 1407, the writs being probably terminated in his favor; the writ was, however, directed (merely) Johanni Tuchet. According to modern doctrine, which was not then invented, the issue of a writ would probably be regarded as terminating the abeyance (then unknown) in the Barony ofAudley. He married, Isabel, who was living June 1405. He died in December 1408, aged about 38.
