John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford
- John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford
John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford (23 April, 1408 – 26 February, 1462) was the son of Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford. A minor at his father's death in 1417, he came to the earldom in 1429. His wife was Elizabeth Howard, daughter of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk.
A staunch Lancastrian, he remained loyal to Henry VI during the early phases of the Wars of the Roses. At the accession of Edward IV, de Vere and his oldest son Aubrey were arrested and executed by John Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester and Constable of England. Due to Edward's policy of conciliation, however, John's son by the same name was allowed to succeed as John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford in 1464.
