DNB Main notes for Sir John Sutton Lord Dudley
From the article for John Dudley, d. 1487, 1st baron Dudley
The eldest son [of Sir Edmund Dudley], Edward (b. 1457), succeeded his grandfather as second Baron Dudley in 1487, and married Cecilie, daughter of Sir William Willoughby. He died in 1531. He was succeeded as third Baron Dudley by his half-witted son John (b. 1496), who was nicknamed ‘Lord Quondam;’ was with Henry VIII in France in 1513, when he is doubtfully said to have been knighted; sold his estates of Dudley to John Dudley, duke of Northumberland [q.v.]; became a destitute pauper; was never summoned to parliament; married Cecily, daughter of Thomas Grey, marquis of Dorset, and was buried with elaborate Roman catholic ceremonies in St. Margaret's, Westminster, 17 Sept. 1553 (Machyn, p. 44; Wood, Letters, iii. 78, 80).
