Nompar of Caumont

Nompar of Caumont (1391–1446) was a Gascon lord who left written accounts of his pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela and Jerusalem.

He had been named for his paternal grandfather, Nompar of Caumont, the King of England's seneschal of Agenais, who was appointed in April 1400 in English Gascony.

[3][note 1] He left for Compostela in July 1414, at the age of twenty-three, then for Jerusalem, between February 1419 and April 1420.

He was exiled in 1443 by Charles VII, King of France, and dispossessed of his lands in favor of his brother.

He died in England three years later, leaving written accounts of his pilgrimages and a book for his children.
