Pain fitzJohn (before 1100 – 10 July 1137) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and administrator, one of King Henry I of England's "new men", who owed their positions and wealth to the king. Pain's family originated in Normandy, but there is little to suggest that he had many ties there, and he appears to have spent most of his career in England and the Welsh Marches. A son of a minor nobleman, he rose through ability to become an important royal official during Henry's reign. In 1115, he was rewarded with marriage to an heiress, thereby gaining control of the town of Ludlow and its castle, which he augmented with further acquisitions.

  • Pain fitzJohn (before 1100 – 10 July 1137) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and administrator, one of King Henry I of England's "new men", who owed their positions and wealth to the king. Pain's family originated in Normandy, but there is little to suggest that he had many ties there, and he appears to have spent most of his career in England and the Welsh Marches. A son of a minor nobleman, he rose through ability to become an important royal official during Henry's reign. In 1115, he was rewarded with marriage to an heiress, thereby gaining control of the town of Ludlow and its castle, which he augmented with further acquisitions. Although later medieval traditions described Pain as a chamberlain to King Henry, that position is not securely confirmed in contemporary records. He did hold other offices, however, including that of sheriff in two counties near the border between England and Wales. In his capacity as a royal justice, Pain also heard legal cases for the king throughout much of western England. After King Henry's death in 1135, Pain supported Henry's nephew, King Stephen, and was with the new king throughout 1136. In July 1137, Pain was ambushed by the Welsh and killed while leading a relief expedition to the garrison at Carmarthen. His heirs were his daughters, Cecily and Agnes. Cecily married the son of one of Pain's close associates, Miles of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford. Pain was generous in his gifts of land to a number of monastic houses. (en)
  • Pain fitzJohn (... – 10 luglio 1137) nobile anglonormanno che servì sotto il regno di Enrico I d'Inghilterra. L'origine della famiglia è senza dubbio normanna, ma non vi sono grandi tracce che essi intrattenessero dei forti legami con la loro terra d'origine e pare che essi abbiano passato molto del loro tempo in Inghilterra e nelle Marche gallesi. Pain fece carriera nella corte grazie alla propria abilità e venne ricompensato con un matrimonio che Enrico organizzò con un'importante ereditiera, questo accadeva nel 1115 e nello stesso anno il re gli diede il controllo del Castello di Ludlow. Sebbene alcuni medievalisti sostengano che Pain abbia detenuto la carica di Ciambellano non vi sono molti documenti coevi che sostengano questa teoria, è sicuro invece che abbia ricoperto il ruolo di sceriffo e di ciambellano in alcune contee d'Inghilterra e delle Marche.Quando nel 1135 Enrico morì Pain sostenne suo nipote Stefano I d'Inghilterra, solo due anni dopo egli morì in un'imboscata tesagli dai gallesi mentre si recava al presidio di Carmarthen.
