English nobleman and scholar, was the son of John Tiptoft, 1st Baron Tiptoft and Joyce Cherleton.
He was notable for his education, studying at Oxford University.
He married Cecily Neville, daughter of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, in 1449. She died shortly thereafter, and he married Elizabeth Greyndour aft. 1451. He enjoyed a brilliant early career. After being created Earl of Worcester in 1449, he was employed in a number of official posts, first as Lord High Treasurer and then as Lord Deputy of Ireland (1456?1457). He then departed on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and returned by way of Italy, where he stayed for two years, studying in Padua. There he gained a considerable reputation as a scholar of Latin.
He returned to England in 1461 and was received with favor by Edward IV, receiving the Order of the Garter and being appointed to a number of posts. Most notably, as Lord High Constable, he presided over the attainders and executions of Lancastrians, an office which he carried out with exceptional cruelty, having them beheaded, quartered, and impaled. In 1467, he again became Lord Deputy of Ireland, and brought about the execution of the Earl of Desmond. He married once more, to Elizabeth Hopton c. 1467.
Upon the "readeption" of Henry VI in 1470, Tiptoft was unable to escape with Edward IV and his supporters. Captured by the Lancastrians, he was attainted and executed. His last act was to ask the executioner to chop off his head with three blows, for the sake of the Trinity. ; Upon the restoration of Edward VI, the attainder was reversed and his son Edward succeeded to his titles.
