Matthew Gough

Sir Matthew Gough (died 5 July 1450) was a Welsh soldier that served in the Hundred Years' War.

He was subsequently in command of various towns and fortresses, including Laval, Saint Denis, Le Mans, Bellême, and Bayeux.

Matthew as Captain of Bayeux, reinforced an English army in Normandy, under the command of Thomas Kyriell in 1450.

A French army under the command of Jean de Bourbon, together with a force of Breton cavalry, under Arthur de Richemont, defeated the English army at the Battle of Formigny, [1] with the remnants of Gough's force able to flee the battlefield.

Whilst defending the city against Jack Cade's rebels, he was killed upon London Bridge on 5 July 1450.
