Sir John Donne
Welsh courtier, diplomat and soldier / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the diplomat. For the poet, see John Donne.
Sir John Donne (c.1420s ā January 1503)[1] was a Welsh courtier, diplomat and soldier, a notable figure of the Yorkist party. In the 1470s, he commissioned the Donne Triptych, a triptych altarpiece by Hans Memling now in the National Gallery, London. It contains portraits of him, his wife Elizabeth and a daughter. He may well have been related to the Jacobean poet John Donne, although not as a direct ancestor, as he had no Donne grandchildren.
