From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Grey, 7th Baron Ferrers of Groby (d. 22 February 1461) In about 1452, Elizabeth Woodville married Sir John Grey, they had two sons from the marriage, Thomas (later Marquess of Dorset) and Richard.
Bradgate Park was cleared by the Greys of Groby in the 15th century; the construction of Bradgate House was begun in 14?? by Sir John, the ruins of the house are still visible at the centre of the park.
He was killed at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause. (This was ironic, as Elizabeth later married Edward IV who was the Yorkist claimant to the throne.)
