Notes


Thomas de Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, KG (16 March 1338 – 8 April 1401) was an English medieval nobleman and one of the primary opponents of Richard II. He was the son of Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick by his wife Katherine Mortimer. Knighted around 1355, Beauchamp accompanied John of Gaunt in campaigns in France in 1373, and around that time was made a Knight of the Garter. In the parliaments of 1376 and 1377 he was one of those appointed to supervise reform of King Richard II's government. Between 1377 and 1378 he was appointed Admiral of the North. Beauchamp brought a large contingent of soldiers and archers to King Richard's Scottish campaign of 1385. He married Margaret Ferrers, daughter of William Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Grobyby his wife Margaret d'Ufford. Beauchamp died in 1401 (sources differ as to whether on 8 April or 8 August). He was buried with his wife Margaret in the south transept of the Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, but their tomb was destroyed by fire in 1694. Only the monumental brass survived, which is still on display at St Mary's.
