Stephen de Segrave (or Stephen Sedgrave or Stephen Segrave) (c. 1171 – 9 November 1241) was a medieval Chief Justiciar of England. ==Life== He was born the son of a certain Gilbert de Segrave of Segrave in Leicestershire, who had been High Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire in 1193. Stephen became a knight and was made constable of the Tower of London in 1220. He obtained lands and held various positions under Henry III. From 1221 to 1223 he served as High Sheriff of Hertfordshire and Essex, from 1222 to 1224 as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, from 1228 to 1234 as High Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire and from 1229 to 1234 as High Sheriff of Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. In 1236, he became castellan of Beeston Castle and Chester Castle, jointly with Hugh de Spencer and Henry de Aldithley.〔(The Saint-Amand Connection Lines ) accessed on September 7, 2007〕 He was given the manor where Caludon Castle was built, at Wyken near Coventry in 1232〔(Caludon castle ) accessed on September 7, 2007〕 or earlier,〔(British History Online: Caludon ) accessed on September 7, 2007〕 by Ranulph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester. Ranulph also granted him Bretby in 1209.〔(PDF South Derbyshire site - Grant of Bretby ), p.1 accessed on September 7, 2007〕 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 died on 9 November 1241, and was buried in Leicester Abbey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen de Segrave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
