Common card · No. 344735

Seigneur John Michael Beaumont (20 December 1927 – 3 July 2016) was the 22nd Seigneur of Sark in the Channel Islands from 1974 until his death in 2016. He worked as a civil engineer before succeeding his paternal grandmother, Sibyl Hathaway, the 21st Dame of Sark, in 1974. During his rule, Beaumont saw the loss of many feudal rights enjoyed by the seigneurs, and he was consequently often described as the "last feudal baron".
