  === Life Sketch ===
  William I de Cantilupe (died 7 April 1239) (anciently Cantelow, Cantelou, Canteloupe, etc, Latinised to de Cantilupo) 1st feudal baron of Eaton (Bray) in Bedfordshire, England, was an Anglo-Norman royal administrator who served as steward of the household to King John.
  Origins
  He was born in about 1159 in Buckinghamshire, the son of Walter de Cantilupe, recorded in 1166 as a minor landowner in Essex and Lincolnshire, who was a younger brother of Fulk de Cantilupe (died 1217/18), Sheriff of Berkshire in 1200/1.
  The de Cantilupe family which came to England at some time after the Norman Conquest of 1066 originated at one of several similarly named manors in Normandy, from which they took their name: Canteloup in Calvados, 11 miles east of Caen or Chanteloup in Bréhal, Manche, or Canteloup in Manche east of Cherbourg on the tip of the Cherbourg Peninsula.
  ...
  Marriage and issue
  He married Mazilia (or Marcelin/Mascelin) de Braci, daughter and heiress of Adulf de Braci of Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, who brought him that manor and others in Kent, and by whom he had issue including:
  1. William II de Cantilupe (died 1251), eldest son and heir, who following in his father's footsteps served as steward of the household to King Henry III, son of King John;
  2. Walter de Cantilupe (1195-1266), Bishop of Worcester, of which see his father had custody in 1208.
  3. John I de Cantilupe (fl.1251) of Hempston Cauntelow (now Broadhempston) near Totnes in Devon, who married Margaret Cumin, heiress of Snitterfield in Warwickshire. John's grand-daughter and eventual sole heiress was Eleanor de Cantilupe (d.post-1344), who before 1321 married Sir Thomas West (d.1343), of Swallowcliffe, Wiltshire and Roughcombe Castle in Tisbury, Wiltshire, MP for Warwickshire in 1324; by whom she was the grandmother of Thomas West, 1st Baron West (1365-1405), who married Joan la Warre, heiress of Baron La Warre, whose younger son was Reynold West, 3rd Baron West, 6th Baron La Warre (1395-1450). His descendants survive today as Earls De La Warr and quarter the arms of Cantilupe of Hempston as Azure, three leopard's heads reversed jessant-de-lys or.
  4. Nicholas de Cantilupe, of whom Dugdale (1656) stated "I find no more than the bare mention";

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

  === Miscellaneous Biography ===
  William de Cantilupe was married to Mascelina, daughter of Audult de Bracy. William died at a very great age on 7 Apr 1239. His son and heir, William II, was most likely his son by his wife Mascelina.
  William Cantilupe was living during the reign of King John. He was steward of the household, and one of the chief counselors who remained faithful to John. William joined the Barons for a brief time, but returned his loyalty to King John, and was rewarded for his allegience. He received the forfeited lands of rebellious barons as a reward from the King. Included in this was Kenilworth Castle, which he made his principal residence. Henry III kept Catilupe in his office as Steward, and Catilupe continued to increase his land holding. He bought the wardship of the heirs of five great estates; matching one heiress with a brother, another with a son and keeping a third for himself. He died in 1239, leaving five sons, William, Walter, John, Nicholas and Thomas. His 5th great granddaughter was Sibyl Tregoz wife of Wiliam Grandison.

  === William de Cantilupe, the first of this ===
  William de Cantilupe, the first of this family upon record, served the office of sheriff for the cos. of Warwick and Leicester in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years of King John [1202, 1203, and 1204]. In the next year he was made governor of the castles of Hereford and Wilton, and was subsequently sheriff of Herefordshire. In the 11th of the same reign [1210-11], being then the king's steward, he gave 40 marks for the wardship of Egidia, Lady of Kilpeck, widow of William Fitz-Warine, and in three years afterwards, when the king was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, he remained so faithful as to become one of the monarch's chief counsellors. We find him, however, arrayed afterwards under the baronial banner and joining in the invitation to Louis of France. But within the same year he forfeited estates of Richard de Engaine and Vitalis de Engaine, two leading barons in the insurrection, and was appointed governor of Kenilworth Castle, co. Warwick. In the reign of Henry III, he continued attached to the cause of royalty, and acquired immense possessions in the shape of grants from the crown of forfeited lands. He d. in 1238, leaving five sons, viz., William, his heir; Walter, a priest; John, Lord of Snitterfield; Nicholas, of Ilkeston; and Thomas, Lord Chancellor of England.

  === Miscellaneous Biography ===
  William de Cantilupe was married to Mascelina, daughter of Audult de Bracy. William died at a very great age on 7 Apr 1239. His son and heir, William II, was most likely his son by his wife Mascelina.
  William Cantilupe was living during the reign of King John. He was steward of the household, and one of the chief counselors who remained faithful to John. William joined the Barons for a brief time, but returned his loyalty to King John, and was rewarded for his allegience. He received the forfeited lands of rebellious barons as a reward from the King. Included in this was Kenilworth Castle, which he made his principal residence. Henry III kept Catilupe in his office as Steward, and Catilupe continued to increase his land holding. He bought the wardship of the heirs of five great estates; matching one heiress with a brother, another with a son and keeping a third for himself. He died in 1239, leaving five sons, William, Walter, John, Nicholas and Thomas. His 5th great granddaughter was Sibyl Tregoz wife of Wiliam Grandison.
