Notes:

He was 10th Earl of Warwick.

From the website of Warwick Castle:
"His son, Guy (1298-1315) was named as one of the Ordainers, a group of Earls who aimed to impose control over King Edward II and govern the kingdom. Their main complaint against the King was the role and powers he had granted Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight and the King’s probable lover. By 1312, tensions between the King and the Ordainers had risen, therefore Gaveston surrendered to the Earls under promises that his life would be spared. However, Guy de Beauchamp seized the prisoner and brought him to Warwick Castle. After a perfunctory trial in the original Great Hall, Gaveston was sentenced to death and beheaded in the woods just outside Warwick. This move caused a political catastrophe for Guy and he died a mysterious death just three years later."

From Wikipedia:
Thomas was the 11th Earl of Warwick.

He served in Scotland frequently during the 1330s, being captain of the army against the Scots in 1337. He was hereditary High Sheriff of Worcestershire from 1333 until his death (in 1369). In 1344 he was also made High Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire for life.

He was Marshall of England from 1343/4 until 1369, and was one of the commanders at the great English victories at Crécy and Poitiers.

Thomas de Beauchamp fought in all the French wars of King Edward III; he commanded the center at the Battle of Crecy (where many of his relatives were killed including his younger half-brother Alan la Zouche de Mortimer). He was trusted to be guardian of the sixteen-year-old Black Prince. Beauchamp fought at Poitiers in 1356 and at the Siege of Calais (1346).

Thomas and Katherine had five sons and ten daughters. He died of the black death three months after his wife died.

From the website of Warwick Castle:
"Thomas Beauchamp (1329-69), who next inherited the Earldom, came of age around the time of the outbreak of the Hundred Years War with France. In 1337 King Edward III restated his claim to the French throne and the long conflict began. Thomas emerged as one of the King’s favoured commanders. He fought at the Battle of Crecy (1346) and the Battle of Poitiers (1356), and was amongst the first men to be made a Knight of the Garter. Thomas made his fortunes in France ransoming French political prisoners and he started a massive reconstruction of Warwick Castle. He began the building of the towers which still stand today."
