Biography

John Bridges (Brugge) was a son of Baldwin Brugge. His mother may have been Isabel de Grandison sometimes Elizabeth, but there appears to be some doubt as to the wife of Baldwin Brugge.^[1][2][3]

He married a daughter of Sir Myles Pine who bore him at least three sons, Richard, Thomas and John.^[1]

'Sir John Brugge' was said to have been at the Battle of Agincourt.^[2][4] A Thomas Brugge was listed by Nicolas in his History of Agincourt but not a John Brugge. There was a John Burgh but he may be distinct to John Brugge.^[5][6]

He was succeeded at Bridge Solers by his son and heir Thomas.^[2]

Research Notes

He is distinct from John Brugge of Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire, who died 30 Sep 1436 without a male heir.^[7][8] The Bridges pedigree in the Visitation of Gloucestershire^[1] claimed that John Bridges, son of Baldwin Bridges, was of "Staunden". This appears to be an error.
