 had continued in the king's absence were renewed and excommunication threatened against all who broke them (, ii. 155–6). On 22 Jan. Warenne was ordered to invade Scotland at once (Scotland in 1298, p. 70). He raised the siege of Roxburgh and occupied Berwick (, ii. 156–7), whence he was recalled to attend the Whitsuntide council at York ‘as secretly as might be’ (Scotland in 1298, p. 95). However, in June he crossed the border with the king, joining other lords in assuring Norfolk and Hereford that the king would confirm the charters on his return (, p. 186). On 22 July he commanded the rearward ‘battle’ at Falkirk (Scotland in 1298, p. 151). On 25 Sept. he was back at Carlisle (ib. p. 256).

On 9 Sept. 1299 Warenne was at Edward I's second marriage at Canterbury (Cont. ii. 317). In November he was made guardian of his grandson, Edward Baliol (Hist. Doc. Scotl. ii. 405). In July 1300 Warenne and his grandson, Henry Percy, commanded the second squadron of the army that besieged Caerlaverock (, Siège de Karlaverok, p. 14). In February 1301 he signed the Lincoln letter of the barons to the pope (Fœdera, i. 426–7). In March 1301 he was chief of the embassy treating with the French at Canterbury. He died on 27 Sept. 1304 at Kennington in Surrey (Sussex Arch. Coll. ii. 37; cf. London Ann. p. 133). On 1 Dec. the remains were taken to Lewes, where they were buried after Christmas, in the church of St. Pancras (, ii. 240), Archbishop Winchelsea celebrating the funeral service.

By Alice of Lusignan, who died on 9 Feb. 1256, John left three children: (1) Alice, born in 1251 (Sussex Arch. Coll. ii. 25), and married, in September 1268, to Henry Percy (d. 1272); she was the mother of Henry Percy, first baron Percy of Alnwick [q. v.] (2) Isabella, born on 23 Sept. 1253 (ib. ii. 26), and married, in 1279, to John de Baliol [q. v.], afterwards king of Scots; she was the mother of Edward de Baliol [q. v.] (3) William, the only son of the marriage, born on 15 Jan. 1256 (ib. ii. 26), and married before 1283 to Joanna, daughter of Robert de Vere, earl of Oxford (d. 1296). William was knighted in 1285 (ib. ii. 35), and in December 1286 was accidentally killed at a tournament at Croydon, and buried at Lewes. His only son, John de Warenne (1286–1347) [q. v.], thus became the heir.

WARENNE, JOHN, and , or  (1286–1347), son of William de Warenne (d. 1286) and Joanna, daughter of Robert de Vere, earl of Oxford, and grandson of John de Warenne, earl of Surrey (1231?–1304) [q. v.], was born on 24 June and baptised on 7 Nov. 1286 (Calendarium Genealogicum, p. 378; Sussex Arch. Coll. ii. 35). His father died when he was only six months old, and his mother when he was aged 7. He was nineteen when his grandfather's death on 27 Sept. 1304 made him Earl of Surrey and Sussex. On 20 May 1306 he married, at the Franciscan church at Newgate, Joan, only daughter of Henry III, count of Bar, and of Eleanor, eldest daughter of Edward I (ib. vi. 119–21). On Whitsunday, 22 May, he was knighted along with the Prince of Wales (Chron. de Melsa, ii. 227). He received his first parliamentary summons for 30 May at Westminster (Parl. Writs, i. 164). He was, however, excused from attendance at the Carlisle parliament in January 1307 as being in Wales by license of the king (ib. i. 183). On 6 Feb. 1307 Edward I, being at Lanercost, released him from his grandfather's debt of 6,693l. 6s. 10¼d. to the crown (Cal. Pat. Rolls, 1301–7, pp. 496–7).

Under Edward II Warenne was one of the earls who on 6 Aug. 1307 attested the grant of Cornwall to Peter de Gaveston (Fœdera, ii. 2). On 2 Dec. in the famous tournament at Gaveston's castle of Wallingford he led the side that fought against the favourite, whose victory involved, as Trokelowe (p. 65) says, ‘his perpetual shame’ (see also, p. 156).
