John de Vere, 14th Earl of Oxford (14 August 1499 – 14 July 1526) was the second but only surviving son of Sir George Vere and Margaret, the daughter and heir of Sir William Stafford of Bishop's Frome in Hereford.[1] Custody of his person was granted on 29 May 1514 to Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. He attended the Field of the Cloth of Gold in June 1520, and was granted livery of his lands on 16 August of that year, but because of his extravagance was again placed in Norfolk's custody.
In 1512 he married Anne Howard, Norfolk's daughter by his second wife, Agnes Tilney. The couple had no surviving children. The Earl died on 14 July 1526. His widow survived him for many years, dying before 22 February 1558/9, when she was buried in the parish church at Lambeth.[2]
The Earl was popularly known as 'Little John of Campes.' He was succeeded by his second cousin, John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford. Both were great-grandsons of Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford.[3]
