Nicholas de Segrave (1274–1321) was the younger son of Nicholas, Baron Segrave and Maud Lucy.

Nicholas was a soldier. He was summoned to Parliament on 24 June 1295^[1], he attended upon Edward I. He went north with the army from Leicestershire, and was in the army when they defeated William Wallace at Falkirk on 22 July 1298.

He was again called as "Lord in Parliament" in 1304, when the King proposed another campaign against Scotland. Known as Lord Segrave, his family held the manor of Barton Segrave, Northamptonshire from this period until just after his death in 1321.

In 1304 he was at the siege of Stirling Castle,^[2] in which the English successfully captured the key fortress to the Highlands.

He rose to become Marshal of England during Edward II's reign from 1308 to 1315 and was known as the Baron of Stowe.
