Research notes
✓ DOCUMENTED (History of Parliament; web-confirmed 8 Aug 2026): m. Juliana. ||⚠ SIMON BURLEY KG LINE NOT WIRED|| The popular descent making John a son/grandson of Sir John Burley KG of Herefordshire (bro. of Sir Richard Burley KG, nephew of the famous Sir Simon Burley KG, beheaded 1388) is explicitly judged UNLIKELY by the History of Parliament - so that glamorous rung is note-only, NOT wired. Floor honestly at John of Broncroft. Added 8 Aug 2026.
