| Notes |
- He was the Earl of Warwick.
Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick (c. 1272 ? 12 August 1315) was an English magnate, and one of the principal opponents of King Edward II and his favourite, Piers Gaveston. Guy was the son of William de Beauchamp, the first Beauchamp earl of Warwick, and succeeded his father in 1298. He distinguished himself at the Battle of Falkirk and subsequently, as a capable servant of the crown under King Edward I. After the succession of Edward II in 1307, however, he soon fell out with the new king and the king's favourite, Piers Gaveston. Warwick was one of the main architects behind the Ordinances of 1311, that limited the powers of the king and banished Gaveston into exile.
When Gaveston returned to England in 1312? contrary to the rulings of the Ordinances? he was taken into custody by Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke. Warwick abducted Gaveston and, together with Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, had him executed. The act garnered sympathy and support for the king, but Warwick and Lancaster nevertheless managed to negotiate a royal pardon for their actions. After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, King Edward's authority was once more weakened, and the rebellious barons took over control of government. For Warwick the triumph was brief; he died the next year.
Guy de Beauchamp is today remembered primarily for his part in the killing of Gaveston, but by his contemporaries he was considered a man of exceptionally good judgement and learning. He owned what was for his time a large collection of books, and his advice was often sought by many of the other earls. Next to Lancaster, he was the wealthiest peer in the nation, and after his death his lands and title were inherited by his son, Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick.
Guy de Beauchamp was the first son and heir of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick, (c. 1238 ? 1298). His mother was Maud FitzJohn, daughter of John Fitzgeoffrey, who was Justiciar of Ireland and a member of the council of fifteen that imposed the Provisions of Oxford on King Henry III. William was the nephew of William Maudit, 8th Earl of Warwick, and when his uncle died without issue in 1268, he became the first Beauchamp earl of Warwick. In 1271 or 1272 his first son was born, and in reference to the new family title, William named his son after the legendary hero Guy of Warwick. William de Beauchamp was a capable military commander, who played an important part in the Welsh and Scottish wars of King Edward I.
A marriage between Guy and Isabel de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, was contemplated, or possibly even took place and then annulled. It was not until early 1309 that Guy married Alice de Toeni, a wealthy Hertfordshire heiress. By this time Guy had already succeeded as Earl of Warwick, after his father's death in 1298.
By his wife, Alice, Guy had two daughters and two sons?
1. Thomas, his heir and successor, and
2. John de Beauchamp, Lord Beauchamp KG (1315 ? 2 December 1360), who carried the royal standard at the Battle of Cr?cy.
3. Maud de Beauchamp (died 1366), married before Easter term 1332 Geoffrey de Say, 2nd Lord Say, by whom she had issue. The Barons Saye and Sele are their descendants.
4. Elizabeth de Beauchamp (c. 1316 ? 1359), married before Easter term 1332 Thomas Astley, 3rd Lord Astley, by whom she had two sons, William Astley, 4th Lord Astley and Sir Thomas Astley, ancestor of the Astleys of Patshull and of Everley.
By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Earl Guy also had three daughters:
1. Isabel de Beauchamp; married John de Clinton.
2. Emma de Beauchamp; married Roland de Oddingseles.
3. Lucia de Beauchamp (also known as Lucy); married Robert de Napton, Knt., the son of Sir Adam Napton. Lucia and Sir Robert had a son Adam Napton, who married Margaret Helier.

"Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
"GUY DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., 10th Earl of Warwick, hereditary Chamberlain of the Exchequer, hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, of Worcester and Elmley Castles, Acton Beauchamp, Comberton, Naunton Beauchamp, Pirton, Salwarpe, Sheriff's Lench, Stoulton, and Wadborough (in Pershore), Worcestershire, Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, etc., eldest surviving son and heir, born about 1271-5 (aged 23-27 in 1298, aged 30 and more in 1301).
He married (1st) after 4 March 1291 (date of letter) and before 11 May 1297 (date of papal dispensation to remain in marriage, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred) ISABEL DE CLARE, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., 6th Earl of Gloucester, 6th Earl of Hertford, by his 1st wife, Alice, daughter of Hugues XI le Brun (otherwise de Lusigian), Count of La Marche and Angoul?me, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine brother of Henry III, King of England) [see CLARE 8 for her ancestry]. She was born 10 March 1262/3. They had no issue.
He fought in the king's division at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, where he distinguished himself for bravery. In consequence of his services, the same year he was granted lands in Scotland belonging to Mowbray, Strivelyn, and Chartres. He presented to the churches of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, 1299, Acton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, 1309, Pillerton, Warwickshire, 1310, Notgrove, Gloucestershire, 1313, and Naunton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, 1313, and to the chapel of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, 1309, 1313. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Com' Warr'.
Guy and his wife, Isabel, were separated in or before 1302, and subsequently divorced; she married (2nd) about 1316 MAURICE DE BERKELEY, Knt., 2nd Lord Berkeley [see BERKELEY 6 for further details of her life]. Guy served under Edward, Prince of Wales, at the Siege of Stirling Castle in 1304. For his good services, he was granted Barnard Castle, co. Durham in 1307. He attended King Edward I on his last campaign and was present at his death 7 July 1307. Sometime in the period, 1307-11, Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, and other earls and barons, while assembled in the Parliament in London, wrote to the Pope praying for the canonization of Thomas de Cantelowe, late Bishop of Hereford. He was present at the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, where he carried one of the Swords of State. He was prominent in procuring the banishment of Peter de Gavaston, Earl of Cornwall in 1308, and alone opposed his recall in 1309.
Guy married (2nd) shortly before 28 Feb. 1309/10 ALICE DE TONY, widow of Thomas de Leyboume (or Leyburne), Knt., of Leybourne, Kent (died shortly before 30 May 1307), and daughter of Ralph de Tony, Knt., of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Walthamstow, Essex, Painscastle, Radnorshire, etc., by his wife, Mary [see TONY 9 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1282-5 (aged 24 or 27 in 1309). They had two sons,
1. Thomas, K.G. [11th Earl of Warwick), and
2. John [Lord Beauchamp],
and five daughters,
3. Maud,
4. Emma (wife of Roland de Oddingseles),
5. Isabel (wife of John de Clinton),
6. Elizabeth, and
7. Lucy (wife of Roger de Napton).
Alice was heiress in 1309 to her brother, Robert de Tony, Knt., Lord Tony, by which she inherited extensive estates throughout England, including the manors of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Brinkley, Kirding, Long Stanton, and Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire, Carnanton (in Mawgan), Cornwall, Walthamstow, Essex, Necton, Little Cressingham, and Saham Toney, Norfolk, Garsington, Oxfordshire, East Bergholt, Suffolk, Newton Tony and Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire, etc. He presented to the church of Pillerton, Warwickshire in 1310. He was one of the Lords Ordainers of Reform in 1310. In June 1312 he seized Gavaston at Deddington, Oxfordshire, and carried him off to Warwick Castle. On the Earl of Lancaster's arrival, Gavaston was handed over to Lancaster and executed without trial 19 June 1312. He presented to the churches of Notgrove, Gloucestershire and Naunton Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and to the chapel and chantry of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire in 1313. Although pardoned for his participation in the death of Gavaston in 1313, Guy and his confederate Earls refused to serve in the Bannockburn campaign the following year.
SIR GUY DE BEAUCHAMP, 10th Earl of Warwick, died at Warwick Castle 12 August 1315, and was buried at Bordesley Abbey, Warwickshire. He left a will dated 25 July 1315.
His widow, Alice, married (3rd) by license dated 26 October 1316 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM LA ZOUCHE MORTIMER (formerly DE MORTIMER)*, Knt., of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, Fulbourn and Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, and Nutbourn (in Pulborough) and Treve (or River) (in Tillington), Sussex, Justice in Eyre for forest pleas in Essex, Joint Keeper of Caerphilly Castle, Keeper of Glamorgan and Morganno, Chamberlain of Cardiff, Keeper of the Tower of London, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1328, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Walthamstow, Essex, Flamstead, Hertfordshire, Wyke or Rumboldswyke (in Rumboldswyke), Sussex, Cherhill, Newton Tony, and Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire, etc., younger son of Robert de Mortimer, of Richard's Castle and Puddlestone, Herefordshire, Burford, Milson, and Tilsop (in Burford), Shropshire, etc., by Joyce, daughter of William la Zouche [see RICHARD'S CASTLE 3 for his ancestry].
