Amery Of Pavy
Amery of Pavy (also Aimeric, Aimery, Aymer, or Emeric in various sources; Italian: Amerigo) or of Pavia (died 1352) was a 14th-century English knight, originally from Pavia in Lombardy, who was made captain of Calais by King Edward III of England in 1347. He made a secret deal with Sir Geoffrey de Charny, a French knight, to sell Calais for 20,000 écus (approximately £ in terms). After discovering the plot, Edward summoned Amery to London and confronted him, ordering him to keep his bargain with Geoffrey and say nothing of the king's knowledge.

In 1352, Amery was captured and tortured to death by Charny. Captain of Calais After Edward took possession of Calai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
