Thomas Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick

For example, the 14th century Anonimalle Chronicle states that when news arrived of his landing at Calais, the Duke of Burgundy, whose forces were camped nearby, made a hasty retreat under cover of darkness to avoid an encounter with 'the devil Warwick'.

He also fought in the Hundred Years Wars with France, commanding the English victory at the Battle of Crécy in 1346.

[1] Warwick was Marshal of England from 1343/4 until 1369, and was one of the commanders at the great English victories at Crécy and Poitiers, as well as the Siege of Calais (1346).

He began the rebuilding of the Collegiate Church of Saint Mary in Warwick, supposedly using money received from the ransom of the archbishop of Sens, whom he captured at Poitiers, but that is an oversimplification.

Beauchamp died three months later at Calais aged 56, on 13 November 1369,[3] of the Black Death and was buried alongside his wife in the chancel of St. Mary's Church, Warwick, Warwickshire.
