John Cheyne, Baron Cheyne

John Cheyne, Baron Cheyne ( – 30 May 1499) was Master of the Horse to King Edward IV of England and personal bodyguard to King Henry VII of England.

Biography John was the third but second surviving son of Sir John Cheyne (d. 1467) of Shurland Hall in Kent, by his wife, Eleanor, daughter and sole heiress of Sir Robert Shottesbrooke of Faringdon in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). and in 1479 was appointed Master of the Horse. In the same year he married Margaret Chidiock, eldest daughter of Sir John Chidiock, and widow of William Stourton, 2nd Baron Stourton. Also in that year, he was granted the manor of Faulstone near Salisbury (now in Bishopstone parish) which had been confiscated from Sir Robert Baynton for his support of Henry VI.

After the death of Edward, and the seizure of the crown by Richard III, Cheyne switched sides to support Henry Tudor's claim to the throne, joining him in exile in Brittany. Henry knighted him on 7 August 1485, at Milford Haven, on their return to England. In 1486 he was made a Knight of the Garter and was called to parliament as Baron Cheyne. His widow died on 12 March 1503 at the age of 30.
