6 He. Beauchamp emerged unscathed - even enhanced - from the crisis of1449-1450 which brought about the downfall of so many of his colleagues. On 22 June 1450 he succeeded the hated Lord Saye and Seleas Lord Treasurer of England, a post which he held for the next two years. Policy during his tenure was probably more determined by the conflicting designs of parliament and the recipients of royal patronage than by his agency. He seems to have done well financially out of his office, departing with a reward of £400.
Between 1450 and 1453 he remained a central figure in the royal household, under the Duke of Somerset, but he avoided being implicated in the duke's more partisan activities. Beauchamp maintained a low profile during the crisis of 1453-1454: he stayed at Henry VI's side during the latter's madness, and was allotted a place as one of two ‘barons’ of the household in the Yorkist ordinances of November 1454.
If Somerset intended to enlist him as an ally by appointing him as acouncillor on 21 February 1455, he did not succeed. Beauchamp attended the council sporadically but he played no part in the battle of St Albans a few months later. A poem of 1458 identified him as a member of the royalist party, but this is almost certainly to be explained by his long-standing place at court, where he became Steward of the Household in the second half of 1457. There is no evidence either that he ever fought for Lancaster, or that Edward IV's new regime was hostile towards him.
In February 1462 Beauchamp received a pardon, and in October of that year an exemption from the obligations of office, on the grounds of his great age. Thus with the down fall of Henry VI he went into retirement rather than opposition, failing to help either king against his enemies in the rebellions of 1469-1471. He died between 9 and 19 April 1475 and was buried in the Dominican friary at Worcester. He was succeeded by his son Richard Beauchamp, 2nd Baron Beauchamp of Powick. He, son of
William de Beauchamp and
Katherine Ufflete, was born in 1919.
