The DNB has the following:
Sutton, John (VI) [John Dudley], first Baron Dudley (1400-1487), courtier and diplomat, was born on 25 December 1400, the son of John (V) Sutton (d. 1406) and his wife, Constance Blount (d. 1432). The Suttons were the descendants of John, Lord Somery (d. 1308), through his elder daughter, Margaret, who had brought her husband, John (I) Sutton, half the barony of Dudley.
I have the following. Which is correct father of Margaret, Roger de Somery
or John de Somery.
NOTES FOR ROGER DE SOMERY:
Baron Dudley. Held Dinas Powis.
In 1287, land in Bromwich, Warwickshire and neighbouring hamlets constituted a knight�s fee held of Roger de Somery as of his castle of Dudley by a number of tenants. Roger died in 1291 and his son John de Somery inherits. When John dies in 1322 his heirs were his sisters, Margaret wife of John de Sutton, and Joan widow of Thomas de Botetourt; the overlordship of Castle Bromwich passed to the latter.
