Nicholas De Segrave 1st Baron of Segrave
Nicholas de Segrave, who, in the 43rd year of King Henry II, attended
that monarch into France, but soon after espoused the cause of the
barons, and became one of their most active leaders. In the 47th year of
King Henry III's reign, he was among those who appeared openly in arms,
and fortified Northampton,for which proceeding, his lands were seized by
the crown. Upon the subsequent fall of Northampton to the royalists,
Nicholas de Segrave fled to London, where the citizens having raised a
large army for the barons, made him their general. At the head of this
force, he marched with Gilbert de Clare, and Henry de Hastings, to the
siege of Rochester, and thence to Lewes, at which place, the celebrated
battle, so disastrous to the king, commenced, by a charge made by
Segrave, at the head of the Londoners; in this, however, he was defeated
by Prince Edward, who, flushed with success, pursued his advantage too
far, and thus mainly contributed to the defeat which the royal arms
sustained.The issue of this battle is well known. The king, Prince
Edward, and the chief of their adherents became prisoners to the rebels,
who followed up their triumph, by immediately summoning a parliament in
the king's name, to which Nicholas de Segrave was summoned as Baron
Segrave, on December 24, 1264. But thetide soon ebbing, he was among the
defeated at Evesham, where he was woundedand made prisoner. He was,
however, admitted to the benefit of the Dictum deKenilworth, and
obtained a full pardon, with restoration of his lands, whichhad been
seized. In four years afterwards, he attended Prince Edward to theHoly
Land, and when that prince ascended the throne, he appears to have
enjoyed a large share of royal favor. In the 4th year of Edward's reign,
he waswith the king in a campaign against the Welsh, and was
subsequently employedin Scotland and Ireland, having had a second
summons to parliament, June 25,1295.
Nicholas de Segrave, summoned to parliament by writ directed to "Nicholas
deSegrave, jun.," from June 24, 1295, to January 26, 1297, and to
"Nicholas deSegrave," from the latter date to May 25, 1321. He left at
his death in 1322,an only daughter and heiress, Maud Segrave, who
married Edmund de Bohun, inwhose descendants and representatives this
Barony of Segrave is now vested.
