Politician

Who was Walter de Beauchamp?
Walter de Beauchamp was a medieval nobleman and Sheriff of Worcestershire. Married to the daughter of one of his predecessors as sheriff. Nothing is known for sure of his background before he appears as a witness to royal charters between 1108 and 1111. Beauchamp also inherited offices in the royal household from his father-in-law, and also appears to have been a royal forester. He and another nobleman divided some of the lands of his father-in-law, but disagreements about the division lasted until the 12th century between the two families. He died between 1130 and 1133, and one of his descendants later became Earl of Warwick.
