Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere (18 October 1314 – 7 June 1338) was an English nobleman, the son and heir of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere by Margaret de Clare of Inchinquin and Youghal.
[edit] Family inheritanceGiles' father had been hanged, drawn and quartered in April 1322 for having participated in the Earl of Lancaster's rebellion against King Edward II of England. Bartholomew had joined the rebels in retaliation for the arrest of his wife, Margaret and their children, all of whom were sent to the Tower of London when Margaret refused to admit Queen consort Isabella to Leeds Castle where Bartholomew held the office of governor. His title and estates were attainted, therefore Giles did not succeed to the barony. The latter was seven years old at the time he was imprisoned and lost his father.
In November 1328, he obtained a reversal of his father's attainder and succeeded by writ as the 2nd Baron Badlesmere. However, when he died less than ten years later in June 1338, the barony of Badlesmere became abeyant as his marriage to Elizabeth Montagu had not produced children. His coheirs were his four sisters:
Margery de Badlesmere, married William de Ros, 3rd Baron de Ros, then Thomas de Arundel
Maud de Badlesmere, married John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford
Elizabeth de Badlesmere, married Sir Edmund Mortimer, then William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton
Margaret de Badlesmere, married John Tiptoft, 2nd Baron Tibetot
