Guy de Beauchamp, Knight, 10th Earl of Warwick, Baron of Salwarpe, Worcestershire. Hereditary Chamberlain of the Exchequer, hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, first son and heir of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick and Maud FitzGeoffrey, daughter of John, Knight of Shere.
Guy was born about 1271 as he was thirty years old in 1301. He first married to Isabel de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare and Alice de Lusignan, but they were separated in 1302, and had no children, and the wedding might never have actually taken place.
In 1309, Guy married Alice de Toeni, daughter of Ralph de Toeni, Lord Toeni of Flamstead by a Mary from Scotland. Alice was the countess of Warwick and a wealthy heiress. They had two sons and five daughters:
Sir Tomas, Knight of the Garter and 11th Earl of Warwick
John, Lord Beauchamp
Maud m m Geoffrey de Say
Emme m Roland de Oddingseles
Isabel m John de Clinton
Elizabeth m Thomas of Astley
Lucy m Roger de Napton
Guy was one of the richest men of his time, next to the Earl of Lancaster, and while remembered for participating in the infamous murder of Peter de Gaveston, he was considered an intelligent man with exceptional judgement and learning who owned a large library for the era. He served Edward I faithfully, but opposed his son, Edward II and his favorite Earl, Piers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall.
