Amery of Pavy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Amery of Pavy Sir Amery of Pavy (also called Aymery de Pavie, Armerie of Pavie and Amerie of Pavia in various sources) was a 14th-century English knight of Lombardic origin, who was made captain of Calais by King Edward III of England in 1347. He made a secret bargain with Sir Geoffrey de Charney, a French knight, to sell Calais to Sir Geoffrey for 20,000 crowns, roughly two million pounds adjusted for inflation. Upon discovering the plot, Edward summoned Sir Amery to London and confronted him, ordering him to keep his bargain with Sir Geoffrey and say nothing of the King's knowledge. Sir Geoffrey gathered an army to take control of the town in December of that year, and King Edward brought an army from England to ambush the French takeover. The English prevailed in the failed siege of Calais on December 31, 1348, and King Edward transferred governance of Calais to John de Beauchamp and abated the arms of Sir Amery in 1349. ==Captain of Calais== After Edward III took possession of Calais on August 4, 1347, he negotiated a treaty with Philip VI of France on September 28 under the mediation of the Pope, which truce was set to expire on July 8, 1348, but was subsequently continued until 1355. Edward appointed Amery of Pavy captain of Calais and ordered the restoration of the city's fortifications while he returned to England, landing at Sandwich on October 12, 1347.
