MICHAEL DE LA POLE, 3RD EARL OF SUFFOLK

'Michael de la Pole, 3rd Earl of Suffolk' (1394 – 25 October 1415) was an English nobleman, the eldest son of Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk.
He brought 20 men-at-arms and 60 archers to France in 1415, in company with his father, who died at the Siege of Harfleur. Michael thus succeeded to his title, but enjoyed it only briefly. He was killed at the Battle of Agincourt, one of the few important English casualties of the battle. He married before November 1403 Elizabeth Mowbray, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk,[1] but left no sons, only three daughters:[2]

★ Catherine de la Pole (b. 6 May 1410), nun at Bruisyard

★ Elizabeth de la Pole (22 July 1411 – bef. 1422)

★ Isabel de la Pole (4 June 1415 – bef. 1422)
He was succeeded by his brother William de la Pole.
