Jan was the son of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinoud_I_van_Brederode">Reinoud I van Brederode and Jolanda van Gennep. In 1390 he succeeded his father as the 7th lord of Brederode. Jan had an elder brother named Dirk or Diederik, who had chosen for a life in a monastery, causing all inheritance to go to Jan instead. In 1396 he campaigned against the rebellious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West-Friesland">West-Frisians together with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_I,_Duke_of_Bavaria">Albert I, Duke of Bavaria, and in 1398 he made a pilgrimage tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland">Ireland to visit the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick">St. Patricks Fire. After his pilgrimage Jan invested a lot of money in founding new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapels">chapels and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monasteries">monasteries. In 1393 he married Johanna van Abcoude. After a childless marriage, they both decided to enter a monastery in 1402.
The heritage of Brederode, which included large debts, was given to Jan's younger brother http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walraven_I_van_Brederode">Walraven I van Brederode. Jan entered the monastery Zeelheim in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diest">Diest as brother-abbot with the intention of putting his remaining life in the service of god. However, soon problems emerged, as his younger brother Walraven was taken captive at the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Gorinchem&action=edit&redlink=1">Siege of Gorinchem and spent 7 years in captivity, held by http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan_V_van_Arkel&action=edit&redlink=1">Jan V van Arkel, lord of Arkel, which prevented Walraven from paying the debts that Jan had collected. In May 1407 William van Abcoude, father of Johanna van Abcoude, died. William's brother Gijsbrecht having died two years before that, the title and domains of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abcoude">Abcoude fell to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jacob_van_Gaasbeek&action=edit&redlink=1">Jacob van Gaasbeek, a nephew of the family. In the spring of 1409 Jan, with the intention of challenging Jacob van Gaasbeek's inheritance, resigned his position as abbot so that he would be eligible for the title and domains of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abcoude">Abcoude, but he needed his wife for that as well. Jan, however, was unable to arrange a meeting with his wife, after which he besieged the monastery at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wijk_bij_Duurstede">Wijk bij Duurstede. Bishop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederik_van_Blankenheim">Frederik van Blankenheim led the army of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utrecht_(province)">Sticht against him and took him prisoner, after which he was handed over tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jacob_van_Gaasbeek&action=edit&redlink=1">Jacob van Gaasbeek. Van Brederode remained in captivity until 1412, when he travelled to
