BREAUTE, FALKES DE (d. 1226)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 482 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BREAUTE, FALKES DE (d. 1226) , one of the foreign mercenaries of King John of England, from whom he received in
marriage
  the heiress of the earldom of
Devon
 . On the outbreak of the Barons' War (1213) the king gave him the sheriffdoms of six midland shires and the custody of many castles. He fulfilled his military duties with as much skill as cruelty. The royalists owed to his daring the decisive victory of Lincoln (1217). But after the death of William
Marshal
 ,
earl
  of Pembroke, Falkes joined the feudal opposition in conspiring against Hubert de
Burgh
 . Deprived in 1223 of most of his honours, he was
drawn
  into a rebellion by the imprudence of his brother, who captured a royal justice and threw him into prison (1224). Falkes was allowed to go into
exile
  after his submission, and endeavoured to obtain a pardon through the mediation of
Pope
  Honorius III. But this was refused, and Falkes died at St Cyriac in 1226.
See Shirley, Royal Letters, vol. i.; the Patent and Close Rolls; Pauli, Geschichte von England, vol. i. pp. 540-545. (H. W. C. D.)
