Second Baron Berners, was son of Humphrey (Humfrey) BOURCHIER, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Frederick TILNEY, and widow of Sir Thomas HOWARD. His father was slain at the Battle of Barnet (14 April 1471) fighting in behalf of Edward IV, and was buried in Westminster Abbey (Weever's Funerall Monuments, 1632, p. 482). [here is where the DONB differs] "His grandfather, John, the youngest son of William BOURCHIER, Earl of Ewe, was created Baron Berners in 1455, and died 1474. Henry BOURCHIER [q.v.], the Earl of Ewe's eldest son and the second Lord BERNER'S granduncle, became Earl of Essex in 1461. Another granduncle, Thomas BOURCHIER [q.v.], was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1454 to 1486" [p. 918, regarding Henry BOURCHIER, Earl of Essex, seems the more reliable source and is supported by other sources that John was the grandson of Henry BOURCHIER, Earl of Essex, brother of the John mentioned here as his grandfather]. In 1474 John BOURCHIER succeeded his grandfather (granduncle?) as Baron BERNERS. He is believed to have studied for some years at Oxford, and Wood conjectures that he was of Balliol College. But little is known of his career till after the accession of Henry VII. In 1492 he entered into a contract 'to serue the king in his warres beyond see on hole yeere with two speres' (Rymer, Foedera, xii. 479). In 1497 he helped to repress the Cornish rebellion in behalf of Perkin WARBECK. It is fairly certain that he and Henry VIII were acquainted as youths, and the latter showed BERNERS much favour in the opening years of his reign. In 1513 he travelled in the king's retinue to CALAIS, and was present at the capture of Terouenne. Later in the same year he was marshal of the Earl of Surrey's army in Scotland. When the Princess Mary married Louis XII (9 Oct. 1514), BERNERS was sent with her to France as her chamberlain. But he did not remain abroad. On 18 May 1514 he had been granted the reversion to the office of chancellor of the exchequer, and on 28 May 1516 BERNERS was sent with John KITE, archbishop of ARMAGH, on a special mission to Spain to form an alliance between Henry VIII and Charles of Spain. The letters of the envoys represent BERNERS as suffering from severe gout. He sent the king accounts of the bull-baiting and other sports that took place at the Spanish Court. The negotiations dragged on from April to December, and the irregularity with which money was sent to the envoys from home caused them much embarrassment (cf. BERNERS to WOLSEY, 26 July 1518, in Brewer's Letters &c. of Henry VIII) Early in 1519 BERNERS was again in England, and he, with his wife, attended Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in the next year. The privy council thanked him (2 July 1520) for the account of the ceremonial which he forwarded to them. Throughout this period BERNERS, when in England, regularly attended parliament, and was in all the commissions of the peace issued for Hertfordshire and Surrey. But his pecuniary resources were failing him. He had entered upon several harasssing lawsuits touching property in Staffordshire, Wiltshire, and elsewhere. As early as 1511 he had borrowed 350 pounds of the king, and the load was frequently repeated. In December 1520 he left England to become deputy of CALAIS, during pleasure, with 100 pounds yearly as salary and 104 pounds as "spyall money." His letters to WOLSEY and other officers of state prove him to have been busily engaged in succeeding years in strengthening the fortifications of CALAIS and in watching the armies of France and the Low Countries in the neighborhood. In 1522 he received Charles V. In 1528 he obtained grants of manors in Surrey, Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire. In 1529 and 1531 he sent Henry VIII gifts of hawks (Privy Purse Expenses, pp. 54, 231). But his pecuniary troubles were increasing, and his debts to the crown remained unpaid. Early in 1532-3, while BERNERS was very ill. Henry VIII directed his agents in CALAIS to watch over the deputy's personal effects in the interests of his creditors. On 16 March 1532-3 BERNERS died, and he was buried in the parish church of CALAIS by his special direction. All his goods were placed under arrest and an inventory taken, which is still at the Record Office, and proves BERNERS to have lived in no little state. Eighty books and four pictures are mentioned among his household furniture. By his will (3 March 1532-3) he left his chief property in CALAIS to Francis HASTINGS, his executor, who became Earl of HUNTINGDON in 1544 (Chronicle of CALAIS, Camd. Soc. p. 164). BERNERS married Catherine, daughter of John HOWARD, Duke of NORFOLK, by whom he had a daughter, Joan or Jane, the wife of Edmund KNYVETT of Ashwellthorp in Norfolk, who succeeded to her father's estates in England. Small legacies were also left to his illegitimate sons, Humphrey, James, and George.
The Barony of BERNERS was long in abeyance. Lord BERNER'S daughter and heiress died in 1561, and her grandson, Sir Thomas KNYVETT, petitioned the crown to grant him the barony, but died 9 Feb. 1616-7 before his claim was ratified. In 1720 Elizabeth, a great-granddaughter of Sir Thomas, was confirmed in the barony and bore the title of Baroness BERNERS, but she died without issue in 1743, and the barony fell again into abeyance. A cousin of this lady in the third degree married in 1720 Henry WILSON of Didlington, Norfolk, and their grandson, Robert WILSON, claimed and secured the barony in 1832. The barony is now held by a niece of Henry William WILSON (1797-1871), the third bearer of the restored title.
