1. “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 Angoulême, 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, Thomas, K.G. [11th Earl of Warwick), and John [Lord Beauchamp], and five daughters, Maud, Emma (wife of Roland de Oddingseles), Isabel (wife of John de Clinton), Elizabeth, and 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]. They had four sons, Ralph, Alan [2nd Lord Zouche], Robert, and Philip, and one daughter, Joyce. He apparently fought at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298. In 1304 his kinsman, Alan la Zouche, Knt., Lord Zouche [see CHARLTON 5], settled the reversion of the manors of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, Fulbourn and Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, and Nutbourne (in Pulborough) and Treve (or River) (in Tillington), Sussex on him, on whose death in 1314, he entered into these estates. In 1313 William was pardoned for his participation in the death of Peter de Gavaston. He was summoned for service against the Scots, 1315-35, in Gascony, 1324-5, and in Ireland, 1332. In 1322-3 John Botetourt and his wife, Maud, conveyed to William and his wife, Alice, all their right in the manor of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire. William was summoned to Parliament from 26 Dec. 1323 to 14 Jan. 1336/7, by writs directed variously Villelmo la Zousbe, Willelmo la Zouche de Castro Ricardi (or de Mortuo Mari, de Assheby, de Mortimer), whereby he is held to have become Lord Zouche. His wife, Alice, died shortly before 8 Jan. 1324/5. As a supporter of Queen Isabel, he was present at the extraordinary Council held at Bristol in October 1326, when Prince Edward was chosen as Keeper of the Realm. In Nov. 1326 he was sent with the Earl of Lancaster into Wales to pursue and capture Edward II. William married (2nd) about 26 Jan. 1328/9 (when he abducted her from Hanley Castle, Worcestershire) ELEANOR DE CLARE, widow of Hugh le Despenser ("the younger"), Knt., 2nd Lord le Despenser (hanged 24 Nov. 1326) [see DESPENSER 11], and daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 2nd wife, Joan of Acre, daughter of Edward I, King of England [see CLARE 8 for her ancestry]. She was born at Caerphilly, Glamorgan shortly before 23 Nov. 1292 (date of her mother's churching), and was co-heiress in 1314 to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and William (clerk). Soon after their marriage, orders were issued for their arrest 5 Feb. 1328/9 by Roger de Mortimer, acting in the king's name. Eleanor was subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London and then in Devizes Castle. In Dec. 1329 she was compelled by the King to surrender the lordships of Glamorgan and Morgannwg, and the manors of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and Hanley, Worcestershire, until they should have paid an impossible fine of £50,000. They received a pardon 22 Feb. 1329/30. In Jan. 1330/1 she recovered her lands for a reduced fine of £5,000, which sum was never paid in full during her lifetime. In 1332 he had a protection going beyond seas with the Princess Eleanor for her marriage to Renaud, Count of Guelders, in the Low Countries. The same year he had license from the Bishop of Lincoln to have a chapel in his manor-house at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. In 1332 Anthony Citroun and Nicholas de Salvo acknowledged that they owed William and his wife, Eleanor, a debt of £20,000. In 1336 William la Zouche Mortimer, his step-son, Hugh le Despenser, Knt., and four others acknowledged that they owed debts of £266 to Asselmo Symonete, and £1600 to Gwido de La Chouche, merchants of Lucca, which they had not paid. SIR WILLIAM LA ZOUCHE MORTIMER, 1st Lord Zouche of Richard's Castle, died 28 Feb. 1336/7, and was buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Eleanor, died testate 30 June 1337.

In 1325 John de Goldingham, Knt. attempted to rescue him, but the attempt failed. His wife, Isabel, was imprisoned at Oxford Castle. SIR MAURICE DE BERKELEY, 2nd Lord Berkeley, died in prison at Wallingford Castle 31 May 1326, and was initially buried at Wallingford. His remains were subsequently removed to the south side of the conventual church of St. Augustine's, Bristol. His widow, Isabel, Lady Berkeley, was granted livery of the hundred of Portbury, Somerset 15 August 1326. She died in 1333.
