Henry de Beaumont (d. 1340)

Knight from an aristocratic family of Maine. He was a younger son of Louis of Brienne, who was viscount of Beaumont. This viscounty was in Maine, but Froissart mistakenly states it was in England, undoubtedly because Henry and his brother Lewis de Beaumont, bishop of Durham, were active there.
