Nicholas Seagrave

Nicholas Seagrave (after 1256 – 25 November 1321), lord of Stowe in Northamptonshire, was Marshal of England from 1308 to 1316.

In the Scottish campaign of 1303-4, he became involved in another dispute, and when he was refused trial by combat he deserted the army to flee to France.

On his return in 1305, he was apparently sentenced to death but soon pardoned and restored to favour by King Edward I.

He was one of Edward II's strongest supporters at the start of his reign, and in 1308, he was appointed Lord Marshal.

[2] His coat of arms — sable a lion rampant argent crowned or a label gules - appears on the following rolls of arms which verify his presence on the Scottish campaigns mentioned above: The Falkirk Roll (together with his eldest brother John); The Caerlaverock Poem (again with John); and The Stirling Roll (with brothers John, Henry, Simon and nephew Stephen).
