Sir John was a brother of Thomas, the Third Lord Borough of Gainsborough (1481–1549). He commanded a company in the Netherlands in 1585-6 and was appointed Governor of Doesburg after its capture. Sir John was respected as "one of the most distinguished and scholarly soldiers of his time ... He had seen more service than any man in the army, and in all questions of military science his word was law."
