Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford 
Aubrey was born about 1338. Aubrey's father was John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford and his mother was Maud de Badlesmere. His paternal grandparents were Alphonsus de Vere and Jane Foliot; his maternal grandparents were Bartholomew de Badlesmere 1st Lord of Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare. He had a brother and a sister, named Thomas and Margaret. He was the second oldest of the three children. He died on February 15th, 1417.General Notes
In 1360 he was made steward of the royal forest of Havering in Essex. In 1367 was retained to 'abide for life' with the Black Prince, with a substantial allowance. He was knighted, made constable of Wallingford Castle in 1375 and also given the honours of Wallingford and St. Valery, though he gave up Wallingford in 1378 for Hadleigh Castle. Edward III used him as an ambassador in seeking peace with France. In 1381, de Vere became a Chamberlain of the Royal Household and member of the privy council. In 1388 his nephew, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland and 9th Earl of Oxford was deemed a traitor, causing Aubrey to lose his post of chamberlain. However, after Robert’s death in 1392, the king gave Aubrey the title of Earl of Oxford allowing him to take a seat in parliament. Aubrey’s son, Richard became the 11th Earl of Oxford on his death.
