Reginald de Cobham, 1st Baron Cobham, KG (c.1295–1361) was an English soldier and diplomat.
[edit] Life
He was the son of Sir Reginald de Cobham by Joan, the daughter and heir of William de Evere. This Reginald was the second son of John de Cobham, by his first wife Joan the daughter of William Fitzbenedict.
Reginald married Joan Berkeley by whom he could claim to be related to the noble families of Sutton: Dudley, Beauchamp, De Despencer and Mortimer. The Cobham family, however, were well connected to the ruling families of England in their own right.
