  William Norreys died 4 January 1507, Langley Manor, Langley, Oxfordshire, England, age 74.
  
  Sir William Norreys, the eldest son of Sir John Norreys and his first wife Alice was born in about 1433 and probably at Yattendon in Berkshire.
  He was a high ranking soldier for the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses and was knighted by Henry VI at the Battle of Northampton on the 10th July 1460. He was also present at the Battle of Towton in 1461. After the defeat of the Lancastians he mannaged to maintain his position but in 1483 reverted to his Lancastrian sympathies and joined the Duke of Buckinghams failed rebellion in support of Henry Tudor, the Earl of Richmond. After the collapse of the rebellion he was eventually captured in Devon but managed to escape and fled to Brittany. There he joined the forces of the Earl of Richmond and later returned to England with him and commanded a troop at the Battle of Bosworth. For his loyalty he was richly rewarded by the Earl of Richmond who had now been crowned as Henry VII.
  His father, Sir John Norreys, died in 1467 and was succeeded at Yattendon manor by his son Sir William who is known to have been holding it in 1471. He held numerous and various appointments during his lifetime including Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire in 1468-9, 1482-3 and 1486.

  William Norreys
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  Sir William Norreys (c.1441 – before 10 January 1507)[1] was a famous Lancastrian soldier, and later an Esquire of the Body to King Edward IV.
  Probably born at Yattendon Castle, William was the eldest son of Sir John Norreys of Ockwells and Yattendon and Lady Alice Merbrook, Lady of the Garter. Upon the death of his father, he inherited all of the family's properties, including Yattendon Castle, but excluding Ockwells, which he inherited in 1494 upon the death of his stepmother.
  
  Wars of the Roses[edit]
  William was a Lancastrian soldier in the Royal Army during the Wars of the Roses. He was knighted by King Henry VI at the Battle of Northampton, on 10 July 1460, when he was 20 years old. He was present at the Battle of Towton, on 29 March 1461, the largest and bloodiest battle of the wars. Though he survived the battle, when so few Lancastrians did, he was forced to make peace with the recently proclaimed King Edward IV.
  New monarchy[edit]
  Like his father, William adjusted to the new monarchy. By August 1461, he was appointed Steward of both the Royal manors of Cookham and Bray, adjoining his family estate of Ockwells. He was later appointed steward of nearby Foliejon Manor in Winkfield, in 1474.
  He was appointed Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire in 1468, positions he also held in 1482 and 1486. In 1467, he became Justice of the Peace for Berkshire. In 1469, Sir William was made Esquire of the Body to King Edward IV.
  During the rebellion of 1470, begun by Warwick, the 'Kingmaker', which briefly re-instated Henry VI as king, William may have fought on King Edward's side for he retained his position at court.
  He participated in the Battle of Barnet on 14 April 1471.
  Rebellion and exile[edit]
  In 1483, shortly after the July crowning of King Richard III, William reverted to his anti-Yorkist sympathies. In October 1483, he joined his younger brother, John, in the Duke of Buckingham's rebellion.
  The Duke assembled his forces at Brecon, while Sir William, accompanied by Sir William Berkeley of Beaverstone and Sir Richard Woodville, gathered rebels at Newbury. Buckingham was, however, captured and executed. William fled West when a reward was offered for his capture. He was eventually rounded up in Devon and arrested, but escaped to Brittany. There he joined the forces of the Lancastrian Earl of Richmond.
  Return[edit]

  He was Bailiff for Queen Elizabeth in 1488. He was reinstated as Justice of the Peace for Berkshire in 1494. He gave legal advice to the King in 1502, which brought him the appointment as custodian of the manor of Langley, and Steward of the manors of Burford, Shipton, Spelsbury and the Hundred of Chadlington (all in Oxfordshire). In 1504, he added the stewardships of Newbury and Stratfield Mortimer to his offices. He became Steward to the Chancellor of Oxford University in 1505.

  === Yattendon Castle ===
  Yattendon Castle
  Fateful Setting for Queen Anne's Dance
  
  Yattendon Castle was a large fortified manor house, owned for many years by the great Norreys family. Sir John Norreys of Ockwells, who eventually became the Master of King Henry VI's Wardrobe, inherited Yattendon Manor from his father-in-law, Sir Richard Merbrooke, in about 1440. Sir John was a rising star at the Lancastrian Royal Court at the time and managed to obtain permission to embattle his manor house at Yattendon & empark some 600 acres around it in 1448. He was already rebuilding his manor house at Ockwells in Bray in a fine domestic highly decorative style, but perhaps he saw the Civil War on the horizon and felt some fortifications elsewhere would be prudent. Tradition says that he erected the castle within a large moat immediately adjoining the old house, which was then demolished. Fortunately, the Wars of the Roses that dominated Sir John's life did not come close to Berkshire and so his castle saw no action.
  
  For generations, the Norreyses seem to have used Yattendon as a secondary home. The head of the family would live at Ockwells, while the eldest son would move out to Yattendon upon his marriage. Though presumably the less comfortable home, it may have been more spacious, being suitable for both entertaining and raising a family. Most of the family were probably born there. Sir John's great grandsons, Sir John and Henry Norreys certainly played host to King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine of Aragon at Yattendon during the latter years of their marriage. While there, it is said that the Queen's lady-in-waiting, Anne Boleyn, of whom the King was already enamoured, dropped her handkerchief during a dance. It was retrieved by Henry Norreys, thus setting in motion the rumours that led to both he and Anne eventually losing their heads for adultery.
  
  Henry's son and namesake was made Lord Norreys of Rycote by Queen Elizabeth I and inherited vast estates, particularly in Oxfordshire and North Berkshire, from his father-in-law, Lord Williams of Thame. He lived at Wytham Abbey and Rycote Palace. Yattendon became the home of his eldest son, Sir John Norreys, the great Elizabethan soldier. He was rarely in the country, but may have had a soft spot for the place since his body was brought back there after his death whilst fighting in Ireland in 1597. He has a memorial in the parish church.
  
  Thereafter, the castle was probably left uninhabited and fell into a state of disrepair. Soldiers of both sides passed through the area at the time of the Second Battle of Newbury and the place is said to have been stripped by them and possibly set on fire. Some ruins may have remained, but the centre of the surrounding estate was moved to Frilsham House. Eventually when the manor was purchased by King George III's dancing tutor, Sir John Gallini, in 1784, he tore down the remains of the old castle and, shortly afterwards, built himself the five-bay 'brick box' that we see today on the site of the original medieval house. The dry moat is now all that is left to remind us that the castle was ever there.
