Against the King's orders of 7 February he, with Thomasof Lancaster and others, came in arms to the Parliament at Westminster,March, where he was sworn as one of the Lords Ordainers, 20 March1309/10.

Guy de Beauchamp, 2nd earl, so called in memory of his celebratedpredecessor, the Saxon, Guy, Earl of Warwick. This nobleman acquired highmilitary renown in the martial reign of Edward I, distinguishing himselfat the battle of Falkirk, for which he was rewarded with extensive grantsof land in Scotland, at the siege of Caerlaverock, and upon differentoccasions besides beyond the sea. In the reign of Edward II, he likewiseplayed a very prominent part. In 1310 his lordship was in the commissionappointed by parliament to draw up regulations for "the well governing ofthe kingdom and of the king's household" in consequence of the corruptinfluence exercised at that period by Piers Gaveston in the affairs ofthe realm through the unbounded partiality of the king; and in two yearsafterwards, when that unhappy favorite fell into the hands of his enemiesupon the surrender of Scarborough Castle, his lordship violently seizedupon his person and, after a summary trial, caused him to be beheaded atBlacklow Hill, near Warwick. The earl's hostility to Gaveston is said tohave been much increased by learning that the favourite had nicknamed him"the Black Dog of Ardenne." For this unwarrantable proceeding, hislordship and all the others concerned therein received within two yearsthe royal pardon, but he is supposed to have eventually perished bypoison, administered in revenge by the partisans of Gaveston. The earl m.Alice, relict of Thomas de Laybourne, dau. (by Lady Alice de Bohun) ofRalph de Toni, of Flamsted, co. Herts, and sister and heiress of Robertde Toni, by whom he had issue, Thomas, his successor; John, a veryeminent person in the reign of Edward III, being captain of Calais,admiral of the fleet, standard bearer at Cressy, one of the originalknights of the Garter, and summoned to parliament as a Baron, but dyings. p., the dignity expired; Maud, m. to Geoffrey, Lord Say; Emma, m. toRowland Odingsels; Isabel, m. to John Clinton; Elizabeth, m. to SirThomas Astley, Knt.; Lucia, m. to Robert or Roger de Napton.

This great Earl of Warwick was, like most of the nobles of his time, amunificent benefactor to the church, having bestowed lands upon severalreligious houses and founded a chantry of priests at his manor of Elmley.His will bears date "at Warwick Castle* on Monday next after the feast ofSt. James the Apostle, an. 1315," and by it he bequests to Alice his wifea proportion of his plate, with a crystal cup, and half his bedding; asalso, all the vestments and books belonging to his chapel; the othermoiety of his beds, rings, and jewels, his gives to his daus. To his sonThomas, his best coat of mail, helmet, and suit of harness; to his sonJohn, his second suit of mail, &c., appointing that all the rest of hisarmour, bows, and other warlike provisions should remain in WarwickCastle for his heir. Alice, widow of the earl, had very extensive estatesassigned to her in dowry in the November following the death of herhusband, and in the next year she paid a fine of 500 marks for license tomarry William la Zouche, of Ashby, co. Leicester, to whom she wasaccordingly married. The earl d. at Warwick Castle on 12 August, 1315,and was s. by his eldest son, then but two years of age, Thomas deBeauchamp.

* Warwick Castle was almost rebuilt by Thomas, 4th Earl of Warwick, andRichard, his heir and successor, in the reigns of Edward III and RichardII. The much admired polygon, Guy's Tower, which is thirty-eight feet indiameter and one hundred and six feet in height, was erected, it is said,by the latter.

Piers Gaveston was promised safe conduct to trial in London after he was seized at Scarborough Castle, but on the way he was summarily beheaded by the Earl of Warwick, his implacable enemy. [Scarborough Castle, p. 16]

Reflecting the growing importance of the de Beauchamps, Guy was one of a group of earls known as the Ordainers. With their own interests firmly at heart, they aimed to impose, through a list of 'ordinances' or constitutional demands, some form of control over the way the king, Edward II, both raised his revenue and governed the kingdom. For some ordainers, complaints about royal power (especially royal spending power) centered on the role at court of Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight and the king's lover.
At a time of heightened political tension in 1312, Gaveston, promised that his life would be safe, surrendered to the Ordainer earls. However, Guy de Beauchamp and Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, seized the prisoner and brought him to Warwick Castle. After a perfunctory trial, which may have been held in the Great Hall, Gaveston was sentenced to death and beheaded on Blacklow Hill, just outside Warwick.
Although Guy died three years later in 1315, his very young son did not succeed to the title until 1329 because of his minority. Thomas de Beauchamp came of age on the verge of the outbreak of the Hundred Years War with France. [Warwick Castle, p. 42-44]

d. 1315. 10th earl of Warwick (1298-1315). Powerful magnate in the faction opposing Piers Gaveston, Edward II's unpopular favourite, who nicknamed him 'the Black Dog of Arden'. Guy was one of the lords who secured Gaveston's temporary banishment in 1308. In 1312, he captured Gaveston at Deddington in Oxfordshire, met with other barons at Warwidck and decided on gaveston's death. He handed his prisoner over to Thomas, 2nd earl of Lancaster, for execution on 19 June 1312. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 25]
