William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick (1237–1298) was an English nobleman 
and soldier, described as a “vigorous and innovative military commander."[1] He was 
active in the field against the Welsh for many years, and at the end of his life 
campaigned against the Scots.

He became hereditary High Sheriff of Worcestershire for life on the death of his father 
in 1268.

He was a close friend of Edward I of England, and was an important leader in 
Edward's invasion of Wales in 1277.[2][3] In 1294 he raised the siege of Conwy 
Castle, where the King had been penned in,[4] crossing the estuary.[5] He was 
victorious on 5 March 1295 at the battle of Maes Moydog, against the rebel prince of 
Wales, Madog ap Llywelyn.[6] In a night attack on the Welsh infantry he used cavalry 
to drive them into compact formations which were then shot up by his archers and 
charged.[7]R
