John Dabrichecourt

Sir John Dabrichecourt (died 1415) was an English politician. He sat as MP for Derbyshire in 1393 and September 1397.[1]

He was the son of Sir Sanchet D'Abrichecourt and the brother of Sir Nicholas Dabrichecourt, the former of whom descended from immigrants to England from Hainault and was a member of the Order of the Garter.[2] By September 1378, he married Maud, the widow of Sir John Tuchet and they had one son and 5 daughters. He had two illegitimate sons. He was knighted by October 1375 and became a Knight of the Garter on 20 March 1413.[1] His stall plate was stolen from its location in 1844.[3]

He had served as a soldier under the reigns of both Henry IV and Henry V, with his knighthood having occurred on the basis of his performance in battle during the Hundred Years' War.[4] In 1400, he was retained as a knight under Henry V. Dabrichecourt also served as Constable of the Tower, a post which was at the time commonly held by knights.[5] Dabrichecourt served as a captain during the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.[6]
