See also:BARON DE See also:SIR See also:WALTER DE See also:MANNY MANNY (d. 1372)
, soldier of See also:fortune and founder of the See also:Charterhouse, younger son of See also:jean de Mauny, known as Le Borgne de Mauny, by his wife Jeanne de Jenlain, was a native of See also:Hainaut, from whose See also:counts he claimed descent
.
See also:Manny—the name is thus spelt by most See also:English writers—was a See also:patron and friend of See also:Froissart, in whose See also:chronicles his exploits have a conspicuous and probably an exaggerated See also:place
.
He appears to have first come to See also:England as an See also:esquire of See also:Queen Philippa in 1327, and he took'a distinguished See also:part in the Scottish See also:wars of See also:Edward III
.
In 1337 he was placed in command of an English See also:fleet, and in the following See also:year accompanied Edward to the See also:continent, where in the See also:campaigns of the next few years he proved himself one of the boldest and ablest of the English See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king's military commanders
.
He was summoned to See also:parliament as a See also:baron by See also:writ from the 12th of See also:November 1347 to the 8th of See also:January 1371
.
In 1359 he was made a See also:knight of the Garter; and at various times he received extensive grants of See also:land both in England and in See also:France
.
He was frequently employed by King Edward in the conduct of See also:diplomatic negotiations as well as in military commands
.
,He was one of those charged with the safe custody of the See also:French king See also:John when a prisoner at See also:Calais in 1360; in 1369 he was second in command under John of Gaunt in his invasion of France
.
But Manny is chiefly remembered for his See also:share in the See also:foundation of the Charterhouse in See also:London
.
In 1349 he bought some acres of land near Smithfield, which were consecrated as a burying-place where large See also:numbers of the victims of the See also:Black See also:Death were interred; and here he built a See also:chapel, from which the place obtained the name of Newchurchhaw." The chapel and ground were bought from Manny by the See also:bishop of London, See also:Michael de Northburgh, who died in 1361 and by his will bequeathed a large sum of See also:money to found there a Carthusian See also:convent
.
It is not clear whether this direction was ever carried out; for in 1371 Manny obtained letters patent from King Edward III. permitting him to found, apparently on the same site, a Carthusian monastery called " La Salutation See also:Mere Dieu," where the monks were to pray for the soul of Northburgh as well as for the soul of Manny himself
.
The bishop's See also:bequest may have contributed to the See also:building and endowment of the See also:house; or possibly, as seems to be implied by a See also:bull granted by See also:Urban VI, in 1378, there were originally two kindred establishments owing their foundation to Northburgh and Manny respectively
.
At all events Manny, who died See also:early in 1372, See also:left instructions that he was to be buried in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

This See also:lady, who outlived Manny by many years, was countess of Norfolk in her own right, and she was created duchess of Norfolk in 1397
.
Manny left no surviving son
.
His daughter See also:Anne, Baroness de Manny in her own right, married John See also:Hastings, 2nd earl of See also:Pembroke; and on the death of her only son unmarried in 1389, the See also:barony of Manny became See also:extinct
