Family: England · Role: knight · First appears: Book 1, Chapter 33

In Book 1, Chapter 33, Earl of Oxford was named among the knights appointed to serve under Earl of Derby on an expedition. The next morning at Bergerac, he and Earl of Pembroke carried the inhabitants’ plea for mercy to Derby. After Derby replied, “He who begs for mercy should have mercy shown him,” they returned with his answer, and the inhabitants surrendered and swore fealty to him for the King of England.
