About John Braham

John Braham was an English landowner who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Suffolk in 1417. Although little is known of his early life or background, he is known to have spent most of his career in royal service abroad, often as part of the Hundred Years War, fighting in Brittany, Portugal, Spain and Ireland as well as France. However, his service did not bring him the riches that it brought to others, and he is known to have spent much of his life impoverished; often in court over unpaid debts, it is possible that he lived beyond his means much of the time. He had been knighted by 1381 and had married the widow of another Suffolk gentleman by 1393. He died in 1420.
