Biography

European Aristocracy
Hierome Beauchamp was a member of the aristocracy in England.

The Collegiate Church of St Mary's in Warwick is the burial place for a number of the Earls of Warwick and their wives, including Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Katherine de Mortimer.[1]

The Church also had illustrations of their children in glass with their names in a ribbon ; their 10 daughters in the south windows of the choir[2] and various kneeling knights, who might be their sons also in the south window,[3] and in the great north window.[4]. All of the knights have the Beauchamp arms (a cross) to indicate they belong in this family.

However two of the knights depicted in the north window are named Hieronimus (Hierome or Jerome) and Iohannes (John) and these men aren't known to be sons of Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick and Katherine de Mortimer. Dugdale notes that they aren't mentioned in the Rous Roll, nor in the wills of their presumed parents.[5]

One possibility is that they belong elsewhere in the family; Thomas did have a brother, John. The other possibility is that they depict sons who died young, and the images of grown knights, is just a generic image, similarly to all the daughters looking very much the same.

Research Notes

Reference is made in the below sources to two sons of Thomas de Beauchamp, Jerome and John, who died unmarried at an early age. It is unclear what information these references are based on:

update: Lovely write-up! Hierome/Jerome remains attached, but marked Uncertain.

John - If there's a source to support this Hurom/Jerome as son of Thomas & Katherine, please add it. Otherwise, I'll disconnect them after the weekend. Thanks!
