As an active coadjutor of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, Segrave incurred some share of the opprobrium which was lavished on the royal favorites, and in 1234 he was deprived of his office.
Having been appointed warden of Scotland, Segrave was defeated at Roslin in February 1303; after the capture of Stirling he was again left in charge of this country and was responsible for the capture of Sir William Wallace, whom he conveyed to London.
SfiGUR, LOUIS PHILIPPE, COMTE DE (1753-1830), French diplomatist and historian, son of Philippe Henri, marquis de Segur, was born in Paris on the loth of December 1753.

 HENRY SEAGRAVE SPEED ACE ON LAND AND WATER: NELSON KRUSCHANDL AND THE BLUEBIRD ELECTRIC PROJECT
Segrave was cutting down toward the markers, his steady hand tight on the wheel, his eyes glued to the narrow, glass-flat path before him, his foot pressing the throttle to both engines.
The reason for this, Segrave explained, was that neither he nor his designers knew for sure what angle the forward plane should be in order to get the best performance and that the structure they applied was made so that it could be moved and changed.
The Segrave Trophy was established in 1930 to commemorate the life of Sir Henry Segrave.

 MOWBRAY - LoveToKnow Article on MOWBRAY
His brothers son Robert, who rebelled with him against William Rufus on the Conquerors death, was made, after their reconciliation, earl of Northumberland, as his uncles heir but was forfeited and imprisoned for life on rebelling again in 1095.
Nigel married, by dispensation, the wife of his cousin, the imprisoned earl, but afterwards divorced her, and by another wife was father of a son Roger, who took the name of Mowbray.
Both families assumed the baronies of Mowbray and Segrave, but Henry Howard was summoned in his fathers lifetime (1640) as Lord Mowbray, which was deemed a recognition of the Howards right; their co-heirs, from 1777, were the Lords Stourton and the Lords Petre, and in 1878 Lord Stourton was summoned as Lord Mowbray and Segrave.

In the hall, where the arms of Segrave impaled with those of Ball were carved, there was a high table at which the family took their meals seated on square stools, and round the walls were ranged five court cupboards, on which plate and china were displayed.
On the upper part there are carved the arms of the Segraves of Killeglan, quartered with those of the family of Wafer, and bearing on an escutcheon of pretence the arms of the family of O'Neill.
From the family of Wafer the Segraves derived Killeglan, and the wife of John Segrave was an O'Neill, a daughter of Sir Neill O'Neill, the second baronet of the Killelagh line.

It did not matter that Segrave was more Irish-American than he was British nor that his car was a copy of a Fiat, built by Italian designers under the management of Louis Coatelen, a Frenchman.
Divo led Segrave and Benoist while the crowd thrilled at Senechal's progress after a horrible start, the Frenchman showing some wild driving in the chicanes and riding high up on the banking while the others stayed low.
Segrave finally retired when his car caught fire in the pits although he still did one more lap after that before the supercharger fell apart.

He was the governing director of C. Wakefield and Company, Ltd., known as 'Castrol', perhaps the largest oil company in England at that time, the name coming from 'Castor' and 'Oil', Castrol 'R' being one of their best selling racing oils.
Segrave had his heart set now on the British International Trophy and the world speed record on water.
Segrave, speaking to Lord Wakefield said: "I honestly don't know what is going to happen, old fellow, when I release 4,000 horsepower to that little fifteen-inch propeller." Wakefield had given Segrave carte blanche.

 ITV Motoring - 200mph Sunbeam For London Classic Show
In March 1927 at Daytona Beach, Segrave planned to do one exploratory run, a second "fairly fast" as the timekeepers checked their equipment, and a third flat-out for the record.
Just another day at the office for Segrave, who was more disappointed by the fact that he reckoned from the rev counter that he’d got up to about 180mph, whereas the timekeepers said his speed was just 166mph.
At this point Segrave had to choose either to go straight on and plough into the river which crossed the beach, turn right and let his runaway car career to a halt in the sandhills, or steer into the sea.

My background reading was based on the fine biography of Sir Henry Segrave by the late Cyril Posthumus, who always encouraged and advised me in my quest.
Wilkie still had framed photos of speedboat aces Gar Wood and Betty Carstairs on the walls of his office, as well as the wickerwork seat Sir Henry Segrave had sat in on that fateful Friday 13th June 1930 when Miss England II hit a submerged log at an unprecedented 120mph with fatal consequences.
I have a large number of press cuttings of the late Sir Henry Segrave, including press photographs, and graphic accounts of the speed attempt which ended in tragedy….These cuttings are stuck in a scrap-book and although perhaps somewhat childish, they are genuine, authentic and collected by me from local newspapers 1929/1930….

The new Sunbeam Talbot Darracq company produced cars with all three brand names but its efforts were combined in racing, although of the three STD cars sent to Indianapolis in 1921 two were built at Sunbeam in Wolverhampton and one at Darracq in Suresnes.
In the years that followed the STD racing teams used a confusing selection of machinery but enjoyed considerable success between 1921 and 1927 with drivers including Rene Thomas, Andre Boillot, Kenelm Lee Giunness, Henry Segrave, Alberto Divo, Dario Resta and "W Williams".
In the middle of 1927, however, Coatelen was forced to withdraw STD from Grand Prix racing because of the company's precarious financial situation.
