Tuhia he toenga mo tenei pene - Ko John de Vere, i whanau i te 14 Akuhata 1499, te tuarua engari ko ia anake te tama ora o Sir George Vere me tana wahine tuarua, a Margaret, te tamahine a Sir William Stafford o Bishop's Frome i Herefordshire na Elizabeth Wrottesley, tamahine a Hugh Wrottesley, rangatira. I whakaarohia a Sir George Vere mo te tohunga, a i te tau 1459, i te tekau ma ono noa iho ona tau, ko tona papa, ko John de Vere, 12th Earl o Oxford, i whakatuhia ia ki tetahi painga i Lavenham, Suffolk. Heoi, ko te 12th Earl me tana tama matamua me te kawana, a Aubrey de Vere, i whakamatea i te Hui-tanguru 1462, a ko George te tuarua o te rangatiratanga ki te kawana hei kawana pea ki tona tuakana, a John de Vere, 13th Earl o Oxford. Hei utu mo George, ko tana teina, ko Richard, i noho hei tohunga, a i te 1459 ka marena a George, hei wahine tuatahi, ko Margaret Talbot (d. Tihema 1472), te tuahine me te kaiwhiwhi o Thomas Talbot, 2nd Viscount Lisle (kua mate i te Poutu-te-rangi 1470). I whawhai ia i te Pakanga o Barnet
I te 14 o Paenga-whāwhā 1471, ā, i te taha o tōna tuakana, a John de Vere, 13th Earl o Oxford, i a ia e hopu ana i te Maunga o St. Michael i Cornwall i te 30 o Mahuru 1473. I whakawhiwhia a Sir George Vere ki te Paremata i te timatanga o te 1475, me ona tuakana, a John raua ko Thomas. E kii ana a Ross kaore a Sir George Vere i murua i te mana, ahakoa e kii ana a Richardson i hurihia tana whiu i te taenga mai o Kingi Henry VII ki te torona i te 1485.
