Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick

Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick

Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick (1192 – 10 October 1229), Earl of Warwick, Baron of Hocknorton and Hedenton, was the son of Waleran de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Warwick and Margaret, daughter of Henry de Bohun, 1st Earl of Hereford and Maud of Essex. He was also known as Henry de Newburg.

When Henry was twelve his father died and he was committed to the care of Thomas Basset of Headington, Oxon. It was during this time that the King had seized his estates at Gower in South Wales and gave them to William de Braose. This led to constant disputes between succeeding Earls and the Braose family. When he matured, he joined the court of King John's side and commanded the Royal Army. He fought for Henry III at the sieges of Montsorel and Biham and at the storming of Lincoln. In 1213 he paid two hundred and four marks eight shillings scutage towards the cost of the war in Wales, and the following year contributed forty two marks to that in Poictou.
