Sir Richard de Beauchamp, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Sir Richard de Beauchamp might describe his life as follows. |
 |
|
I was born in 1434, the son of a John de Beauchamp and a descendant of Hugh de Beauchamp, founder of the distinguished Beauchamp line. For my military assistance during his invasion of England, William “The Conqueror” granted me a great deal of land in Hertford, Buckingham, and Bedford shires. Incidentally, my name is pronounced “Be-chum.” |
|
A Member of Parliament, and the Second Lord of Powyck, I was married to Elizabeth Stafford, the daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford, Knight of the Garter, who was descended from William de Huntingfield, one of 25 sureties of the Magna Carta, the constable of Dover Castle, high sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and governor of Sauvey Castle. |
|
Elizabeth was the mother of Elizabeth, Anne, and Margaret, but gave me no sons. I died 19 January 1502/3. |
