    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.

    "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)."

    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."
