Norman Darcy, 2nd Baron Darcy of Nocton

Norman Darcy, 2nd Baron Darcy of Nocton († March 31, 1340 ) was an English nobleman and politician.

Norman Darcy came from the Darcy family , a noble family from Lincolnshire . He was the only son of Philip Darcy, 1st Baron Darcy of Nocton . Like his father, Norman supported the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster against King Edward II from 1321 onwards . He too was captured by the king in March 1322 at the Battle of Boroughbridge . In contrast to other rebels, however, he was pardoned and received the Carkwell estate back on October 31, 1322 . After the fall of Edward II, he represented Lincolnshire in 1327 as Knight of the Shire during a parliament . After the death of his father in 1333 he inherited his possessions and the title of Baron Darcy of Nocton . In 1335 and 1336 he again served as Knight of the Shire for Lincolnshire.

With his wife Isabel he had at least one son:

• Philip Darcy, 3rd Baron Darcy of Nocton (around 1331 – before 1350)

Philip became his heir after Norman Darcy's death. However, he died before September 16, 1350, before he came of age, presumably of the plague . The family's estates were then divided between Julian and Agnes , Norman Darcy's two sisters and their descendants, respectively. The title Baron Darcy of Nocton fell in Abeyance .
