John Tiptoft, 1st Earl of Worcester
He then departed on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1458, and returned by way of Italy, where he stayed for two years, studying at the University of Padua.He returned to England in 1461 and was received with favour by Edward IV, receiving the Order of the Garter and being appointed to a number of posts, including in 1461, Constable of the Tower of London for life and in 1463, Lord Steward of the Household.Most notably, as Lord High Constable (1462), he presided over trials which resulted in the attainders and executions of Lancastrians, an office which he carried out with exceptional cruelty, having them beheaded, quartered, and impaled.Upon the Readeption of Henry VI in 1470, Tiptoft was unable to escape with Edward IV and his supporters.[4] The title "2nd Earl of Worcester" was the only peerage restored to his minor son Edward, on 14 April 1471, although no regent is named.
