Sir Maurice de Berkeley "the Resolute" (1218 - 4 April 1281), 5th (feudal) Baron de 
Berkeley, was an English soldier and rebel, residing at Berkeley Castle in the English 
county of Gloucestershire.

Maurice was born in 1218 to Thomas de Berkeley and Joan de Somery. He married 
Isabel de Croun FitzRoy, the daughter of Richard FitzRoy, Baron of Chilham (an 
illegitimate son of King John of England) and Rose de Douvres,[1][2] sometime before 
12 July 1247.

Berkeley fought in the French Wars and was invested as a knight before 1242. He 
inherited the title of Baron de Berkeley in 1243 and, on 14 December 1243, he had 
livery of his father's lands. He fought in the war in North Wales and in 1264 he joined 
the Barons against King Henry III. Berkeley died on 4 April 1281 and was buried in St 
Augustine's Abbey in Bristol.
