Summary

Beauchamp (Bello Campo), Sir John de, 1327/28, 1328.

He was apparently a member of the Eaton Socon branch of the Beauchamp family; possibly a brother of the Roger de Beauchamp who sold the manor of Eaton in 1343. He was a person of little importance and perhaps owes to the distinction of his family his return to parliament in 1327/8 and 1328. In 1338 he was arrested on a charge of breaking the peace, but acquitted when it was found that he had been deputed by the justices of the peace in the county to keep the peace in the hundred of Barford, and had been acting to that end.

Beauchamp (Bello Campo), Sir Reginald de, 1290.

He held land in Croughton (Northants.), and Hitcham, Losemere and Stokenchurch (Bucks.) of the Earl of Cornwall; West Ilsley (Berks.), and, in the right of his wife Isabel, widow of Miles Niernut, the Niernut property in Pitstone (Bucks.). In July, 1266 he received a protection for a year, but after this time nothing more is heard of him until the mid years of the’ eighties, wrhen he appears to have become involved financially, raising money on his lands in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. In January, 1287 he was appointed to enforce the statutes of Winchester in Buckinghamshire, and in 1290 was returned to parliament as the representative of either that county or Bedfordshire. He died in 1292, leaving a son, then nineteen years old, his heir.

Beauchamp, Sir Roger, 1399.

He was the grandson and heir of Roger, first baron Beauchamp of Bletsoe, chamberlain of the household of Edward III, and councillor of Richard II; and son of Sir Roger de Beauchamp, who accompanied John of Gaunt to France in 1373, and died shortly after. His grandfather died in 1380, while he was still a minor, and his estates which included Bletsoe in Bedfordshire, Bloxham and Spelbury in Oxfordshire, and Lydiard Tregoz in Wiltshire, were committed to Reginald, Lord Grey of Ruthin, from whom he obtained possession of them in April, 1384. Ten years later, in August, 1394, he was granted a protection for six months while with the Duke of Gloucester on the king’s service in Ireland.
