Stephen de Segrave (or Stephen Sedgrave or Stephen Segrave) (c.1171-9 November1241) was a medieval Chief Justiciar of England.

Life

In 1232, he succeeded Hubert de Burgh as chief justiciar of England.Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 70] He officiated at the trial of de Burgh, in November 1232, which has been called the "first state trial" in England [Nicholas Vincent, "Peter Des Roches" (1996), p. 317.] .

As an active coadjutor of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, Segrave incurred some share of the opprobrium which was lavished on the Poitevin royal favourites of Henry III of England. In 1234, he was deprived of his office as Justiciar. Soon, however, he was again occupying an influential position at Henry's court, and he retained this until his death.

He became a knight and was made constable of the Tower of London in 1203. He obtained lands and held various positions under Henry III. He was given the manor where Caludon Castle was built, at Wyken near Coventry in 1232 [ [http://www.geocities.com/hank99uk/CaludonCastle.html Caludon castle] accessed on September 7, 2007] or earlier, [ [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=16020 British History Online: Caludon] accessed on September 7, 2007] by Ranulph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester.
