Sir John Russell (died 1405), of Strensham in Worcestershire where he held the manor and advowson, was an English landowner, soldier, administrator, courtier and politician.
[1][2] His family had been living at Strensham since before 1283, when his great-grandfather James Russell had licence to create an oratory in his house there,[2] and also owned the Worcestershire manors of Peopleton and Dormston.
Born before 1357, he was the son and heir of the MP Robert Russell, of Strensham, and his wife Catherine, daughter of John Vampage, of Pershore in Worcestershire.
[1] At the end of 1398 he was married for the third time to a widow of three husbands who had extensive lands in several counties, including Birmingham and Maxstoke in Warwickshire.
[1] His memorial brass in the chancel floor showed a knight in armour under a crocketed ogee canopy with side pinnacles and named his three wives.
