John Savage, Knt.[1]
Sir John Savage of Clifton was the son and heir of Sir John Savage of Clifton, by his 1st wife, Maud de Swinnerton. He was "aged 40 and more" in 1450.[2]
Before 1423 he married Eleanor Brereton, daughter of Sir William de Brereton of Brereton and his wife Anyll de Venables.[2]
They had three children:[2]
- John, K.G.

Research Notes
Please be careful when merging John Savage profiles. In reviewing the information in this profile after many merges, it appears that a tree in Ancestry or FamilySearch (LDS) combines father and son, and wives. The following date ranges/wives are provided to help differentiate them:
- John Savage I of Derbyshire, and later of Clifton co Cheshire in right of his wife, Margaret Danyers, who he married around 1375.
- Sir John Savage II, knight, of Clifton co Cheshire, married Maud Swynnerton around July 1401.
- John Savage III (m. Eliz. Eleanor Brereton), around 1403 to 1463.
- John Savage IV (m. 1447 Katerine Stanley), around 1422 to 1495.
- John Savage V (m. Dorothy Vernon), around 1451 to 1492.
Some of the children attached are the result of merges, and are likely to be wrong. Research is needed to confirm which children can safely remain attached to John Savage.
Possible Daughter Dulcie
Dulcie Savage, wife of Henry Bold, is shown on WikiTree as daughter of John Savage-199, son of the John of this profile, and Katherine Stanley. In a 2022 post in soc.genealogy.medieval, Douglas Richardson suggested that her father was the John of this profile and his wife Eleanor Brereton. As Brad Verity pointed out in a response, this is a possibility but not a certainty. For full discussion, see the conversation in soc.genealogy.medieval.
