• How He Lost His Lands: with note: Description: Sir Anchitel Mallory, who, being governor of the town and castle of Leicester under Robert Blanchemains in the time of his rebellion against Henry II., marched thence to Northampton, and after a sharp fight, having defeated the burghers there, returned to Leicester with the spoils and plunder of that town; for which his lands being forfeited, they were in 1174 seized by the King.

  Biography
  
  Anschetil is the first known Mallory lord of Walton-on-the-Wold, Leicestershire, England.
  
  He was seneschal to Robert III, Earl of Leicester, and constable of Leicester Castle. [1]
  
  In 1173, Anketil Malore, one of the partisans of Prince Henry in his rebellion, advanced at the head of a considerable force from Leicester to Northampton, where he defeated the burgesses with the king's troops. [2]
  
  Research Notes
  
  Early pedigree [3] had Ankitell as the son of Geoffrey, mostly because that was the name of the first recorded Lord of Kirkby Mallory. However recent research[4], and the chronology of events, shows Anschetil as the son of Robert.
