Other Events:

• Hereditary Title: 20 Nov. 1449; 1st Baron of Egremont, co. Cumberland [E., 1449]

Notes:

A quarrel, the origin of which is unknown, arose between him and Sir John Neville (a younger son of the Earl of Salisbury), and increased till all the northern counties were embroiled in riots and affrays.

In June 1453, Egremont and Neville were commanded to appear before the King and Council (which they did not do), since, "by occasion of certaine discordes and debates moeved betwyx" them, "divers things and novelries contrarie to oure pees have of late daies be committed ... into grete trouble and vexation of oure countree and sugitts," and in the meantime they were to keep the peace.

On 27 July 1453, Sir William Lucy and others were commissioned to inquire concerning those guilty of riots and gatherings in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland, and to cause them to find security for their good behaviour and appearance before the King and Council, and to commit to prison such as refused: while Egremont and Neville were straitly charged to depart riotous assemblies and gatherings, and to keep the peace on pain of forfeiture of their goods and lands, and the Earls, their fathers, were ordered to adopt all ways and means possible to put down such assemblies.

The measures taken having proved ineffectual, strong letters were addressed to the two Earls, 8 October 1453, and Egremont and Neville were told that in contempt of the order of 27 July they "have multiplied and daily do gaderyngg' of people of oure subgitt' redy to goo to the feld' ... as it were in lande of werre," and they were again commanded to keep the peace on pain of forfeiture.

Egremont was summoned to appear before the King and Council on 3 March 1453/54, but he kept apart in such secret places that the writs could not be served. He was joined by the Duke of Exeter, and in May 1454 the Duke of York, then Protector, found it necessary to proceed in person against them. Exeter, and Egremont and his brother Richard, were ordered to appear before the King and Council on 25 June 1454. About this time a Bill reciting the misconduct of Egremont and Richard was presented by the Commons, and it was enacted that proclamations should be made commanding them to appear before the Chancellor within a certain time, and find sufficient surety of peace or be committed to prison; if they did not appear, they were to forfeit all they possessed.

Some time afterwards they encountered the Nevilles at Stamford Bridge, "a battayll set" ensued, and they were taken prisoners. They were condemned to pay to the Nevilles 16,800 marks, and, in the meanwhile, Egremont was committed to Newgate. He escaped thence, 13 November 1456.

On 24 March 1457/58 the King reduced the fine to a bond for 4,000 marks that Egremont should keep the peace for 10 years towards the Earl of Salisbury, his wife, his sons, and his retainers.

On 10 June 1458 he was granted the castle and manor of Wressell, co. York.

He had licence, 23 June 1458, to leave the realm with 12 servants to complete the pilgrimages which he had promised to make for himself and the King.

He was appointed Constable of Conisborough Castle and granted an annuity of £40, for life, 19 December 1459.

He was a strenuous supporter of Henry VI, in defence of whose person he was slain at the Battle of Northampton, 10 July 1460, aged 37.

Birth:
The day of St. Saturninus MCCCCXXII.

Hereditary Title:
Created by patent for him and his heirs male for ever, with a grant of £10 a year from the issues of the county of Cumberland.

"The style of Lord Egremond was assumed by the (Radcliffe) Earls of Sussex, as representatives of Joan, Lady FitzWauter, one of the coheirs of the Lords Multon (of Egremont)."

He was summoned to Parliament from 5 September (1450) 29 Hen. VI to 9 October (1459) 38 Hen. VI by writs directed Thome Percy domino de Egremond' militi.

Died:
Slain at the Battle of Northampton, where he fought in defence of the person of Henry VI, of whom he was a strenuous supporter.

Notes:

Death by malmsey

"The king certainly led the prosecution of his brother. Edward may, however, have later repented: he had to be pushed into proceeding with Clarence's execution; he provided for an expensive funeral, monument, and chantry foundation at Tewkesbury Abbey; and he is alleged to have bewailed Clarence's death. One modern study regards Clarence's death as a judicial murder organized by the family of the queen, who persuaded King Edward to participate against his better judgement. If the queen really regarded Clarence as a threat to the succession of her son, certainly his removal substantially strengthened the king's authority over his greater subjects, as the Crowland continuator alleged.

"There is no doubt that Clarence was executed for treason in the Tower of London on 18 February 1478. It appears, however, that he was neither hanged nor beheaded, as was normal, but was drowned in a butt of malmsey wine (sweet wine imported from Greece). This strange story occurs in the earliest reports, of Jean de Roye and Mancini, and was evidently known to the Crowland continuator, who declares himself uncertain. No chronicler suggests any other mode of death."

--Oxford D.N.B. (Michael Hicks)

Notes:

When the Earldom of Northumberland was granted to "Sir John Neville of Montagu, Knight," in May 1464, Percy was committed to the Fleet prison, and removed, after September 1465, to the Tower, whence he was discharged 27 October 1469, having done fealty to Edward IV.

In 1467–8 he was in the charge of the Earl of Pembroke, and living in his house.

Following his discharge from the Tower, he appears to have remained in touch with the King until the Earldom was restored to him at York, 25 March 1470.

The following day, as Sir Henry Percy, Kt., he had a grant of the custody of his father's forfeited estates in Yorkshire, Cumberland, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and London. Neville had surrendered his grant so far as it concerned Northumberland, by the King's command, 22 February.

The Earl recovered possession as from 2 March 1469/70 (possibly the date of his coming of age), by the Act reversing his father's attainder, 1472.

He attended a Council at Canterbury in June 1470.

On 24 June 1470, as Henry Percy, son of the late Earl, he was constituted Warden of the East and Middle Marches towards Scotland, three months before Edward IV's flight. He was so constituted by patent dated 17 July; a patent of the following day calls him Earl of Northumberland.

He retained the Wardenship under successive Kings till his death.

He held numerous other official appointments in the North—e.g. Commissioner to treat with the Scots, 1471–73, 1483, 1484, 1488; of array in the Northern counties, 1472; Justice of the Forests North of Trent and constable of Bamborough Castle, 5 June 1471; constable of Dunstanborough and Knaresborough Castles; constable and porter of the castle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 5 March 1473/74. By Henry VII he was made bailiff of Tyndale, Northumberland, in 1486.

On his return in 1471, Edward IV, landing in the North, produced a letter, as of summons, from the restored Earl, which eased his progress towards recapture of the throne.

In 1475 he took part in Edward IV's expedition to France.

He was in command at the capture of Berwick, 1482, and made Governor thereof, 1483. His prowess was commended by the Commons in Parliament.

He bore the sword Curtana at the Coronation of Richard III, 7 July 1483.

He deserted Richard III on Bosworth Field.

"The Earl was made sheriff of Northumberland for life, 14 Aug. 1474, and (by Henry VII) during pleasure, 12 Feb. 1487/8."

Sir Roger Wilbraham, temp. Elizabeth, relates a smart retort, made apparently by this Lord, to Henry VIII. "The L. of Burgaveny had morgaged that house; the King having an ynkling thereof at his meeting with him said 'God morow my L. of Burgaveny without Burgaveny;' the Lord more boldly than discreetly said to the King 'God morow my liege Lord, King of France without France.' This tale is not only amusing, but has a practical bearing; for if Abergavenny were a Barony by tenure, and if the fond "conceipt that the Castle and Lordship of A. should draw the stile and dignity" were true, then a mortgage, which transfers the legal ownership, would have also transferred the peerage; but the Lords having no notice of the transfer would have continued to summon Mr. Nevill, and by so doing would (according to modern peerage law) have conferred a new peerage on him of the same date as the summons, while as soon as the mortgagee had foreclosed on Abergavenny and taken possession, they could not refuse him his writ of summons to the ancient Barony. It is clear that such a process might recur, and that by now we might have a collection of Lords Abergavenny of various dates, which, as Euclid says, is absurd.

To him, 18 December 1512, Henry VIII granted the castle and lands of Abergavenny, &c., which, in 1389, had been inherited by William Beauchamp, Lord Bergavenny (1392), whose representative he was through his grandmother. His vast estates, derived chiefly from the Beauchamp family, he entailed on himself and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to his brothers Thomas and Edward respectively in like manner, and this entail, made by his will, being confirmed by Act of Parliament (31 January (1555/56) 2 and 3 Philip and Mary), preserved them intact to the succeeding Lords.

Notes:

"Opposition to Richard III's seizure of power surfaced quickly, and in July 1483 there was an unsuccessful conspiracy to rescue the two princes from the Tower. But by September Richard's opponents had adopted Henry Tudor as their claimant for the throne, which strongly implies that they believed Edward V and his brother to be dead. The fate of the princes has been the subject of considerable controversy, but their murder on Richard's orders late in the summer of 1483 remains the most probable explanation for their disappearance. The lack of any public statement about their death meant that uncertainties persisted. No pretender emerged in Richard III's own brief reign, but in the 1490s Perkin Warbeck's claims to be Richard, duke of York, gained considerable backing, not all of it factitious."
