John Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave (c. 1314-1353) was an English peer and landowner in Leicestershire and Yorkshire. His family title is drawn from a village now spelled Seagrave. Because of confusion in the descent of the peerage, he is sometimes referred to as the third Baron Segrave Segrave was the son of Stephen Segrave, second or third Baron Segrave, by his marriage to Alice Fitzalan of Arundel. Little is known of his early life. In 1337 Segrave married Margaret Plantagenet of Brotherton, daughter and heiress of the Earl of Norfolk, who himself was a younger son of King Edward I and a half-brother of King Edward II. A year after the marriage his wife inherited her father's peerage and estates, becoming in her own right Countess of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England. They had two sons, Edmund and John, both of whom died young, and two daughters, Elizabeth (1338-1368), later the wife of John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray, and Anne, who became Abbess of Barking.[1] In 1350, Segrave and his wife began to seek a divorce, arguing that they were contracted in marriage before Margaret was of age, and that she had never consented. The impetus for this was that Margaret wished to marry Lord Manny, with whom she was implicated.[2] However, Segrave died in 1353, before the divorce had been granted. He was succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth.
