Hundred Years War

Breton War of Succession

In 1346 he led a small English force in Brittany in support of John de Montfort's claim on the dukedom. De Montfort was backed by the English throne, whereas his rival, Charles of Blois was backed by the French. On 9 June, Dagworth's force was attacked by Charles' much larger army at Saint-Pol-de-Léon. Though almost surrounded, the longbowmen won the day for the Anglo-Breton Forces.

The next year, on 20 June, he claimed an even more famous victory at the Battle of La Roche-Derrien, where he captured Charles of Blois.[1]

He was summoned to the Parliament of England in 1347 as Baron Dagworth.

He was killed in an ambush on 20 July 1350, near Auray, a few miles west of Vannes, by a Franco-Breton force under Raoul de Caours.[2]

Marriage and issue

Sir Thomas came from Bradwell Juxta Coggeshall in Essex. In 1343 he had married Eleanor de Bohun, Countess of Ormonde, the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth Plantagenet, King Edward II's sister. They had a daughter Eleanor, who married Walter Fitzwalter, 3rd Baron Fitzwalter.

Sir Nicholas Dagworth of Blickling, Norfolk (died 1402) who played a considerable role in the government of Ireland  in the late 1370s, was probably his nephew, the son of his brother Nicholas.
