 He was the son of Sir John de Sutton III, 2nd Lord of Dudley, and Katherine de Stafford, youngest daughter of Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford.
 At the time of his father's death, John IV was a minor whose wardship and marriage was granted to Richard FitzAlan, 11th Earl of Arundel.
 During the fifth year of Richard II of England, 350 marks was paid to Sir Philip le Spencer, Earl of Carlington, to be a guardian over John IV with the arrangement of marriage to his daughter, Alice.
 She died in 1392 without issue.
 John married secondly to an unknown Joan (d. April 1408), by whom Sir John de Sutton V succeeded as heir.
Henry II (18 April 1503 – 25 May 1555), nicknamed "Sangüesino" because he was born at Sangüesa, was the King of Navarre from 1517, although his kingdom had been reduced to a small territory north of the Pyrenees by the Spanish conquest of 1512.
 Henry succeeded his mother, Queen Catherine, upon her death.
 His father was her husband and co-ruler, King John III, who died in 1516.

The Mayor of Dudley is an office held by a councillor of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley.
 The post is partly ceremonial although the mayor does also preside over full meetings of the council and has the duty of holding decision makers to account.
 The mayor is elected by fellow councillors in May of each year.
 Before 1865, when the municipal borough was incorporated, the position was associated with the Court Leet of the Lords of Dudley, which governed the borough of Dudley from at least the middle of the 16th century and probably from the Middle Ages.
 The earliest known mayor, John A’Parke was selected in 1565.
Jane Dudley (née Guildford), Duchess of Northumberland (1508/1509 – 1555) was an English noblewoman, the wife of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland and mother of Guildford Dudley and Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester.

 They had 13 children.
 Jane Dudley served as a lady-in-waiting at the court of Henry VIII and was a close friend of Queen Catherine Parr.

 Katherine Dudley was betrothed or married on 25 May 1553 at a very young age to Henry Hastings, the heir of Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon.
 From her mother's will it appears that she was still under 12 years of age in January 1555, and a clause regarding her marriage implies that the match could still be dissolved: "if it so chance that my Lord Hastings do refuse her or she him".
Sir Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, KG, KB (ca. 1535 – 14 December 1595) was an English Puritan nobleman.

 He hotly opposed the scheme to marry Mary, Queen of Scots, to the Duke of Norfolk, and was entrusted by Elizabeth to see that the Scottish queen did not escape at the time of the threatened uprising in 1569.
 He is served as President of the Council of the North from 1572 until his death in 1595.

 After the accession of Henry VIII, he was imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed the next year on a treason charge.
 While waiting for his execution he wrote "The Tree of Commonwealth".
 Edmund Dudley was also the grandfather of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, a favourite of Henry VII's granddaughter, Elizabeth I.

 He served as a leading household officer of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester.
 A Catholic, Blount corresponded with Mary, Queen of Scots's Paris agent, Thomas Morgan, probably as a double agent.
 After the Earl of Leicester's death he married the Dowager Countess, Lettice Knollys, mother of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.
 Blount became a comrade-in-arms and confidant of the Earl of Essex and was a leading participant in the latter's rebellion in February 1601.
 About five weeks later he was beheaded on Tower Hill for high treason.
