Thomas Percy, 1st Baron Egremont
Thomas Percy, 1st Baron Egremont (29 November 1422, Leconfield, Yorkshire - 10 July 1460 Battle of Northampton)
Thomas Percy was the son of Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland and Lady Eleanor Neville, being made Lord Egremont in 1449. A northern baron, he became a leading figure in the internicene Percy-Neville feud, fighting at the Battle of Heworth Moor. When the Wars of the Roses began mid-decade Egremont fought for the king on the Lancastrian side, being killed six years later at the battle of Northampton.
==Early years==
His youth was rarely peaceful; at the age of twenty five he was part of a force that engaged the tenants of the Archbishop of York, John Kemp in a physical confrontation (possibly to the disapproval of his father and elder brother, Henry, Lord Poynings,〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/50235〕 although it is equally possible that he began a 'propaganda campaign' against Kemp at the same time)〔Griffiths, R.A., The Reign of Henry VI (Berkeley, 1981), 579〕 outside the village of Stamford Bridge.〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/50235〕 Following the skirmish with the men of Beverley, he was subsequently imprisoned at York Castle- the direct result, it has been suggested of the Arcbishop manipulating the jury and County Sheriff, whilst getting his own tenants released instead.〔Wilcock, R., 'Local Disorder in the Honour of Knaresborough, ''c.'' 1438-1461 and the National Context', Northern History, 41 (2004), 56〕 It is possible that the king's clear support for the Archbishop, notwithstanding their position as one of the region's greatest magnatial families, was influential in their decision to later feud with the Percies rather than take it to the king for arbitration.〔Griffiths, R.A., The Reign of Henry VI (Berkeley, 1981), 579〕
Conflict in the north was not only over local rivalries ; English relations with Scotland periodically descended into warfare throughout the Middle Ages, and the mid-fifteenth century was no exception.〔Sadler, J., ''Border Fury: England and Scotland at War, 1296-1568'' (Harlow, 2006), 23-27〕 However, Egremont seems not to have been part of the campaign of October 1448, when his father the earl and his brother Lord Poyning's led an army of 6,000 men across the border only to be routed at the Battle of Sark; Poynings himself was captured, to be eventually ransomed by the Scots.〔Historic Scotland, ''Inventory of Historic Battlefields- Sark 1448'' (2013), 2-5〕
