Walter Manny (or Mauny), 1st Baron Manny, KG (c. 1310 – 14 or 15 January 1372[1]), soldier of fortune and founder of the Charterhouse, was from Masny in Hainault, from whose counts he claimed descent. He was a patron and friend of Froissart, in whose chronicles his exploits have a conspicuous and probably an exaggerated place.[2]
