  Notes	Guy de Beauchamp, 2nd earl, so called in memory of his celebratedpredecessor, the Saxon, Guy, Earl of Warwick. This nobleman acquired highmilitary renown in the martial reign of Edward I, distinguishing himselfat the battle of Falkirk, for which he was rewarded with extensive grantsof land in Scotland, at the siege of Caerlaverock, and upon differentoccasions besides beyond the sea. In the reign of Edward II, he likewiseplayed a very prominent part. In 1310 his lordship was in the commissionappointed by parliament to draw up regulations for "the well governing ofthe kingdom and of the king's household" in consequence of the corruptinfluence exercised at that period by Piers Gaveston in the affairs ofthe realm through the unbounded partiality of the king; and in two yearsafterwards, when that unhappy favorite fell into the hands of his enemiesupon the surrender of Scarborough Castle, his lordship violently seizedupon his person and, after a summary trial, caused him to be beheaded atBlacklow Hill, near Warwick. The earl's hostility to Gaveston is said tohave been much increased by learning that the favourite had nicknamed him"the Black Dog of Ardenne." For this unwarrantable proceeding, hislordship and all the others concerned therein received within two yearsthe royal pardon, but he is supposed to have eventually perished bypoison, administered in revenge by the partisans of Gaveston. The earl m.Alice, relict of Thomas de Laybourne, dau. (by Lady Alice de Bohun) ofRalph de Toni, of Flamsted, co.

This great Earl of Warwick was, like most of the nobles of his time, amunificent benefactor to the church, having bestowed lands upon severalreligious houses and founded a chantry of priests at his manor of Elmley.His will bears date "at Warwick Castle* on Monday next after the feast ofSt. James the Apostle, an. 1315," and by it he bequests to Alice his wifea proportion of his plate, with a crystal cup, and half his bedding; asalso, all the vestments and books belonging to his chapel; the othermoiety of his beds, rings, and jewels, his gives to his daus. To his sonThomas, his best coat of mail, helmet, and suit of harness; to his sonJohn, his second suit of mail, &c., appointing that all the rest of hisarmour, bows, and other warlike provisions should remain in WarwickCastle for his heir. Alice, widow of the earl, had very extensive estatesassigned to her in dowry in the November following the death of herhusband, and in the next year she paid a fine of 500 marks for license tomarry William la Zouche, of Ashby, co. Leicester, to whom she wasaccordingly married. The earl d. at Warwick Castle on 12 August, 1315,and was s. by his eldest son, then but two years of age, Thomas deBeauchamp. * Warwick Castle was almost rebuilt by Thomas, 4th Earl of Warwick, and Richard, his heir and successor, in the reigns of Edward III and RichardII.
