Ralph Boteler, 1st Baron Sudeley KG (c.1394 – 2 May 1473) was an English baron and aristocrat who rose up through the ranks of the courts of King Henry V and Henry VI to become the Lord High Treasurer of England. He fought in the Hundred Years’ War and was made the Captain of Calais; and was later present at the execution of Joan of Arc. He is most notably remembered for largely rebuilding the Manor of the More, later home of Queen Catherine of Aragon, and Sudeley Castle, the final home and resting place of Queen Katherine Parr.
