“WALTER DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., of Alcester, Warwickshire, Bransford, Powick, and Sheriff's Lench, Worcestershire, Coulston, Wiltshire, and Kemerton, Gloucestershire, Constable of Gloucester Castle, Steward of the King's Household, younger son. He married in or about 1269 (date of settlement) ALICE DE TONY, daughter of Roger de Tony, of Flarmstead, Hertfordshire, Brinkley, Kirding, Long Stanton, and Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire, etc., by Alice, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., Earl of Hereford and Essex [see TONY 8 for her ancestry]. Alice's maritagium included the manor of East Coulston, Wiltshire, which property had previously been part of the maritagium of her mother, Alice de Bohun. He was born before 1242 (adult in 1263). They had seven sons, Walter, Knt., John, William, Knt., Humphrey (clerk), Ralph, Giles, Knt., and Roger, and four daughters, Pernel, Eleanor, Margaret, and Maud [Abbess of Godstow]. In 1263 Reynold Fitz Peter, Knt., brought a plea against him in the king's court for a moiety of Alcester, Warwickshire. In 1266 Walter sought recovery of the manor from the Crown, and in 1272 bought half the manor for £100, to hold of Reynold and his heirs. He was left a bequest of 200 marks in his father's 1268 will to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In 1275-6 and 1276-7 Walter de Chaundos arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching possessions in Bransford, Worcestershire. In the same period, Walter de Twyford brought an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Cockton [Coughton], Warwickshire. He served for his brother, William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick, in Wales in 1277. In 1278-9 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against the Prior of Great Malvern regarding common of pasture in Powick, Worcestershire. In 1289 he and his wife, Alice, received a dispensation to remain in marriage, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred. In 1292 he obtained the grant of an annual fair at Alcester, Warwickshire. In 1293 they exchanged lands in East Coulston, Wiltshire with her brother, Ralph de Tony, for the manor of Cressingham, Norfolk. In 1294 he was ordered to relieve Bere Castle. In 1295 he was paymaster of the military tenants serving in Gascony under Edmund, Earl of Lancaster. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300. He was continually employed in the Scottish wars until his death. In 1297/8 they gave the manor of Coulston, Wiltshire to Simon Chamberlain and Elizabeth his wife for their lives, in exchange for the manor of Mutton (in East Knoyle), Wiltshire. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Walt'us de Bellocampo, D'n's Alecestr'. SIR WALTER DE BEAUCHAMP died testate at Chalfont, Buckinghamshire 16 Feb. 1302/3, and was buried in the Grey Friars at Smithfield 24 Feb. 1302/3. His heirs and executors were pardoned 11 March 1303, for the escape of two rebel Scots, William de Saint Clare and Duncan Urri, from the gaol of Gloucester Castle, when it was formerly in the custody of the said Walter. In 1309 his widow, Alice, was granted protection for one year, she going on a pilgrimage beyond seas. In 1310 she was summoned to answer Edward Burnell of a plea wherefore she made waste and sale of the lands, houses, woods, and gardens which she had in the wardship of the inheritance of the said Edward in Broom Court near Bidford, Warwickshire to his disherison. In 1313 Alice was disputing the advowson of Kemerton, Gloucestershire with Hawise, widow of John de Ferrers. She presented to the church of Kemerton, Gloucestershire in 1332. In 1334 she was cited by the Pope to appear as a witness regarding the matter of the consanguinity existing between her kinsfolk, John de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and his wife, Margaret Basset. Alice was living in 1347.
