Richard de Beauchamp, 5th Earl of Warwick, was born Jan. 28, 1381. This nobleman was made a Knight of the Bath at the coronation of the Queen, the following year. In 4th of Henry IV, 1399-1414, he was preeminently distinguished against Owen Glendower, whose banner he captured and put the rebel to flight, and about the same time he won fresh laurels in the memorable Battle of Shrewsbury against the Percys, after which he was made K. G. In the 9th of Henry IV he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and en route the King of France, in reverence of that Holy Feast, made him sit at his table, and at his departure sent an herald to conduct him safely through the realm. When he came to Jerusalem, he had much respect showed him, and having performed his offering at the sepulchre of our Savior he set up his arms on the north side of the temple. At the coronation of Henry V the earl was constituted High Steward of England. In the 3rd year of that king he was at Calais, and the next year he was at Caen, and upon the surrender of that place was appointed Governor of the Castle. His lordship continued actively engaged in military and diplomatic services during the reign of Henry V, by whose will he was appointed governor to his infant son and successor Henry VI, which charge having been fulfilled with great wisdom and fidelity, his lordship was appointed, upon the death of John Plantagenet, Duke of Bedford (King Henry V's brother), Regent of France, Lt. General of the whole realm of France and Duchy of Normandy. The Earl, who had been created Earl of Albermarle for life, in 1417, died in his Castle of Roan in his French Government on April 30, 1439. He married 1st Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, Viscount Lisle, by whom he had three daughters, Margaret, Eleanor and Elizabeth. He married 2nd Isabel, daughter of Thomas le Despenser, and had a son Henry, his successor, who died 1445, aged 22, and the male line of Beauchamp, Earls of Warwick expired, and a daughter Anne (this Henry left an only daughter, Anne Beauchamp, who died sine prole 1449 and the honours of the illustrious house of Beauchamp, reverted to her Aunt Anne (only daughter of this Richard Beauchamp, by his 2nd wife, Isabel Despenser), wife of Richard Nevill, Earl of Salisbury, the celebrated King Maker, who was subsequently made Earl of Warwick.
