    • Sir John Darcy, Lord Darcy of Knayth, age 30+ at father's death 20 May 1347, d. Notton, co. York, 5 Mar 1355/6.
      [Magna Charta Sureties]

      Note: Ancestral Roots states that John was slain at Crecy while Magna Charta Sureties states he died at Notton, Yorkshire. Both have the same date. Since the Battle of Crecy was in 1346, I assume MCS is correct.
