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.

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].

6. Elizabeth, and

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.

Despenser, Hugh le, English nobleman, son of Hugh le Despenser. A supporter of the king against the barons, he fought under Edward I, for whom he secured a papal release from an oath to refrain from excessive taxation. When the barons forced Edward's son and successor, Edward II, to banish his favorite, Piers Gaveston, le Despenser supported Gaveston and in 1312 succeeded him as the royal favorite. Edward II made him earl of Winchester in 1322, and le Despenser, together with his son, Hugh, acquired vast wealth. The barons established a coalition to challenge Edward II and le Despenser, and open warfare broke out between the king and the barons. At the battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, the king's forces defeated the coalition. The elder le Despenser became virtual ruler of England, instituted several important administrative reforms, and concluded peace with Scotland in 1323. In 1326 Isabella, queen consort of England, formed an alliance with the barons against Edward and the le Despensers in favor of Edward's and Isabella's son, young Prince Edward. In a general uprising, the forces of Edward II were defeated and both father and son le Despenser were hanged.

Hugh married Eleanore (Alianore) De CLARE on 1 May 1306 in Westminister, London, Middlesex, England. Eleanore (daughter of Gilbert I "The Red Earl" De CLARE, Sir Knight/9Th Earl/Gloucester and Princess Joan PLANTAGENET, of Acre) was born on 3 Oct 1292 in Caerphilly Castle, Caerphilly, Glamorganshire, Wales; died on 30 Jun 1337 in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England.
