Thomas Camoys, 1st Baron Camoys

Prior to the embarkation for France by King Henry V (1413-1422), Camoys was present at a meeting of the King's Council held for the purpose of planning the invasion, and was appointed on 31 July 1415 to the commission which condemned to death Richard, Earl of Cambridge, and Henry Scrope, 3rd Baron Scrope of Masham, for their part in the Southampton Plot.

At the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, Camoys commanded the rearguard on the left of the English line, and in recognition of his service was made a Knight of the Garter on 23 April 1416.

[7] Camoys married twice: Firstly to Elizabeth Louches, daughter and heiress of William Louches of Great Milton and Chiselhampton in Oxfordshire,[8] by whom he had children: Secondly he married Elizabeth Mortimer (died 20 April 1417[13]), widow of Henry Percy (Hotspur), and a daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March by his wife Philippa, 5th Countess of Ulster, daughter and heiress of Lionel of Antwerp, the second son of King Edward III.

[16] Camoys died on 28 March 1421[17] although as pointed out by Leland (d.1552), and still apparent today, the year of his death is wrongly given as 1419 (M CCCC XIX) on his brass in St. George's Church, Trotton.

From a court record in 1422, it would appear that he died intestate, with his estate being administered by Geoffrey Colet and William Estfeld[19] His monument survives in St George's Church, Trotton in the form of a 9-foot (2.7 m) chest tomb in the middle of the chancel on the ledger stone on top of which is a monumental brass depicting himself and his second wife Elizabeth Mortimer.
