   LifeSketch: Sir Hugh Calveley[1] (died 23 April 1394) was an English knight and commander, who took part in the Hundred Years' War, gaining fame during the War of the Breton Succession and the Castilian Civil War. He held various military posts in Brittany and Normandy. He should not be confused with his nephew, also Sir Hugh Calveley, who died in June 1393 and was Member of Parliament for Rutland. Background Edit Calveley was born the youngest son of David de Calveley of Lea, and his wife, Joanna. The family held the manor of Calveley in Bunbury, Cheshire. Estimates of the year of his birth range from 1315 to 1333. It is possible that he was a close relative, maybe even a half-brother, of Sir Robert Knolles. Breton civil war The Iberian Campaigns Resumed war with France Late career Death and burial Edit Calveley died without issue on St George's Day, 23 April 1394 (though some sources list his date of death as 1393). His tomb effigy is in St Boniface's church in Bunbury, Cheshire, though there is some doubt as to whether he was in fact buried there. The effigy was likely commissioned by Sir Robert Knolles. Titles and honours Edit Equestrian statue of Sir Hugh Calveley at Mont Orgueil Castle, Jersey Knight, dubbed sometime between ca 1346 and 1361 Commander of Becherel, 1354 Count of Carrion, from 1366 Seneschal of Calais, 1375 to 1378 Keeper of the Channel Islands, from 1378 for life Captain of Brest Admiral of the West Justice of the Peace for Berks County His coat of arms is blazoned as "argent a fess gules between three bulls sable"; his crest was "a bull's head sable, crowned argent".
