Notes

Lord Camoys. He was the son of Thomas Camoys, baron Camoys, by his second wife Elizabeth Mortimer, widow of Henry Percy (Hotspur), the Camoys family originating in Gressenhall, Norfolk. His father also had a son by his first wife, who, although he predeceased his father, had a son, Hugh, who succeeded to the title, and upon whose death without children, the title fell into abeyance. Despite this Roger Camoys was known as lord Camoys. Camoys had a very active career, serving in Normandy, where, as the English administration collapsed, he gained a reputation as a freebooter, living off the land (Pollard, John Talbot and the War in France, p. 62). He was appointed one of the captains to lead fresh troops to the duchy in 1453 to reinforce John Talbot, earl Shrewsbury, the lieutenant there. Camoys was appointed seneschal of Aquitaine on 4 July 1453 (C 61/139, m.3). He was still acting on 18 October 1453 (E 101/193/15, nos. 23, 25-33). For fuller details, see Vale, English Gascony, 246.
