Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick is the son of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick and Maud FitzGeoffrey. Guy had already distinguished himself in the Scottish Wars and was one of the Ordainers, who sought to restrict the powers of the King. Guy de Beauchamp was one of the chief adversaries of Piers Gaveston, King Edward's favourite, who often referred to Guy as The Mad Hound, due to the Earl's habit of foaming at the mouth when angry. In 1312, Guy de Beauchamp captured Gaveston and took him to his principal residence Warwick Castle where Gaveston was held prisoner and afterwards murdered.
He first married Isabel de Clare, the daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester and Alice de Lusignan of Angoulême, but the marriage, which had produced no children, was annulled. On 28 February 1310, less than three years after the death of her first husband, Guy de Beauchamp married Alice de Toeni, daughter of Ralph VII de Toni.
