About John de Pembroke
John de Pembroke was a judge.
John de Pembroke (died after 1377) was a Welsh-born judge who held several senior offices in Ireland, including that of Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland.
He was born in Pembrokeshire. He became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1350 and subsequently Escheator of Ireland.
He was still living in 1377, when he petitioned the Crown for repayment of the expenses incurred in his recent journey to County Meath with Alexander de Balscot, the Lord Treasurer of Ireland, to levy the King's debts and transact all of the King's other business, for which he had received no reward. On foot of his petition he was awarded £4.
A second John of Pembroke, who was also a Baron of the Irish Exchequer in the 1380s, was probably a relative of the first John.
