John Fortescue (Captain of Meaux)

John Fortescue (died after 1432), of Shepham in the parish of Modbury in Devon, was an English landowner and administrator. He is said in most ancient sources to have been appointed in 1422 by King Henry V as Captain of the captured Castle of Meaux, 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Paris, following the Siege of Meaux during the Hundred Years' War, although this appointment is questioned by Ives (2005).
