Stephen de Segrave (or Stephen Sedgrave or Stephen Segrave) (c. 1171 – 9 November 1241) was a medieval Chief Justiciar of England.
Life
He was born the son of a certain Gilbert de Segrave of Segrave in Leicestershire.
In 1232, he succeeded Hubert de Burgh as chief justiciar of England.[1] He officiated at the trial of de Burgh, in November 1232, which has been called the "first state trial" in England[2].
As an active coadjutor of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, Segrave incurred some share of the opprobrium which was lavished on the Poitevin royal favourites of Henry III of England. In 1234, he was deprived of his office as Justiciar.[1] Soon, however, he was again occupying an influential position at Henry's court, and he retained this until his death.
He became a knight and was made constable of the Tower of London in 1203. He obtained lands and held various positions under Henry III. He was given the manor where Caludon Castle was built, at Wyken near Coventry in 1232[3] or earlier,[4] by Ranulph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester. Ranulph also granted him Bretby in 1209.[5]
In 1223 he was appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire. In 1236, he became castellan of Beeston Castle and Chester Castle, jointly with Hugh de Spencer and Henry de Aldithley.[6]
He died on 9th November 1241, and was buried in Leicester Abbey. He had married twice; firstly to Rohese le Despencer, daughter of Thomas le Despenser (producing no children) and secondly to Ida de Hastings, daughter of William de Hastings and Margery Bigod of Norfolk, who bore him a son, Sir Gilbert de Segrave in 1202. [7][8] Gilbert died at Pons, Poitou on 8th October 1254, following his capture during a campaign in Gascony.
