Barrau de Sescas was a Gascon knight in English service. In 1295, amid the Gascon War between King Philip IV of France and his lord Edward I, Barrau became the first person to be appointed to the position of admiral by an English king, after Edward I appointed him Admiral of the Fleet of Bayonne. In this role, he escorted merchant convoys and broke a French blockade to provide supplies to the besieged fortresses of Bourg and Blaye. Later in the war, he served with Edward's royal household during the king's 1297–1298 expedition to Flanders. In 1299, he became joint lieutenant of Gascony, although the position was largely notional as most of the duchy was then under French occupation. After the 1303 Treaty of Paris restored Gascony to the English, Barrau was appointed castellan of Bayonne and bailiff of Labourd, serving until 1304.
