Individual Details
(1158 - 1235)
Walter de Beauchamp, 4th Baron of Elmley. This feudal lord was appointed Governor of Hanley Castle, County Worcester, in the 17th year of King John (1216) and entrusted with the custody of the same shire in that turbulent year. He married Bertha Braose, daughter of William, Lord Braose, by whom he had sons Walcheline and James. Of this nobleman we find further that being one of the barons-marchers he gave security to the king for his faithful services (with the other lords-marchers) until peace should be fully settled in the realm; and for better performance thereof gave up James, his younger son, as a hostage.
