Timeline

1630

He served as a governor of various schools, including Norton Knatchbull School (founded by an ancestor c. 1630 AD) from 1947 to 2000; Wye College in Kent from 1955 to 2000, and Gordonstoun School from 1964 to 1994.

1924

John Ulick Knatchbull, 7th Baron Brabourne, (9 November 1924 – 23 September 2005), professionally known as John Brabourne, was a British peer, television producer and Oscar-nominated film producer.

Married to the elder daughter of 1st Earl Mountbatten, Brabourne was a survivor of the bombing which killed his father-in-law, mother and son.

Brabourne was born in 1924, the second son of Michael Knatchbull, 5th Baron Brabourne, and his wife, Lady Doreen Browne.

He was educated at Eton College and Brasenose College, Oxford.

1926

Having planned to murder Mountbatten, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) placed a bomb inside the boat on the night of the 26th.

Mountbatten and several members of the party were killed the next morning when the bomb was triggered by an IRA observer onshore who was armed with a radio detonator.

The dead included Brabourne's 83-year-old mother, the Dowager Baroness Brabourne; one of his twin 14-year-old sons, Nicholas Knatchbull; and a local boy, 15-year-old Paul Maxwell from County Fermanagh who had been hired for the summer as Mountbatten's boat boy.

1939

He was barely 14 when his father died in February 1939 and his elder brother, Norton, inherited the Barony.

The Second World War broke out just as Brabourne was finishing school, and he enlisted in the armed forces.

He served in the Coldstream Guards, rising to the rank of captain.

1940

In the late 1940s, shortly after leaving the army, Brabourne began working as an assistant production manager for certain television productions, mostly based on war-related themes.

1943

In 1943, his elder brother, Norton Knatchbull, a lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, was wounded and captured in Italy.

While being transported to Germany as a POW, he tried to escape, but was captured and executed by the SS on 15 September 1943.

Since he died childless, his barony passed to John, who became the 7th Lord Brabourne.

At the end of the war, Brabourne returned to England and settled in the family seat, Mersham in Kent.

1944

He fought in France from 1944 onwards.

1946

On 26 October 1946, at Romsey Abbey in Hampshire, at the age of 21, he married Patricia Mountbatten, elder daughter of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Viscount Mountbatten, later 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma.

Brabourne's best man at the wedding was Squadron Leader Charles Harris-St.

John.

Lady Brabourne was to inherit her father's peerages in due course.

This would make Lord and Lady Brabourne among the few married couples to each hold peerages in their own right.

Also, Lady Brabourne was related to the British royal family, and her aunt Louise Mountbatten was at that time the Crown Princess (later Queen) of Sweden.

1947

In February 1947, only months after the wedding, Brabourne's father-in-law was appointed Viceroy of India.

The newly-wed couple spent several months in India, residing with her parents in the viceregal palace.

In November the same year, Lady Brabourne's first cousin Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wed Princess Elizabeth, future Queen of the United Kingdom.

Lord and Lady Brabourne had eight children:
