John Wodehouse (died 27 January 1431) was an English administrator and politician who served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1413 to 1424 and as Chamberlain of the Exchequer from 1415 until his death in 1431.
[4] The 17th century suggestions of Wodehouse having distinguished Norfolk ancestry and the Jacobean legend of his valorous conduct at the Battle of Agincourt have been disputed.
[4] Wodehouse's career success came largely due to his association with Henry of Monmouth.
[1] In the summer of 1415, Wodehouse, as an important civil servant, was involved in the military, financial and legal preparations for the resumption of hostilities across the channel.
[1] Following Henry's early return from France in 1421, Wodehouse attended the coronation of Catherine of Valois, and became her Chancellor in c. February 1421.
[4] During his lifetime, Wodehouse invested in eighteen manors: two in Cambridgeshire, four in Suffolk, and twelve in Norfolk.
