Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
WILLIAM (-Palestine 15 Nov 1184). The Annals of Waverley record that “Willelmus filius eius” succeeded on the death of “Rogero comite Warvicensi” in 1153[1330].
He succeeded his father in 1153 as Earl of Warwick. The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1184 of “Willelmus comes Warevici”[1331].
m firstly MARGERY d'Eiville, daughter of JOHN d'Eiville & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. The Complete Peerage records her parentage and marriage but the source which it cites has not yet been identified[1332].
m secondly (before 28 Dec 1175) MATILDA de Percy, daughter of WILLIAM de Percy & his first wife Alice de Tonbridge (-[Nov 1202/13 Oct 1204], bur Fountaine Abbey).
A manuscript genealogy of the Percy family names “Matildem et Agnetem” as the daughters and heiresses of “Willielmus de Percy”, adding that Matilda married “Willielmo comiti Warrewyk” but died childless[1333]. “Mathildis de Percy comitissa de Warwic, filia Willielmi de Perci” donated property to Sawley abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Warwich quondam sponsi mei…patris mei Willielmi de Percy et Adalidis de Tunbrige matris meæ et Alani de Percy fratris mei et Agnetis sororis meæ”, by undated charter[1334].
The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "comitissa de Warewyke" paying "xv l de parte sua de feodo Willelmi de Percy" in Yorkshire[1335].
=== Royal Ancestry Biography ===
“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GUNDRED DE WARENNE, married (1st) before 1130 ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, by Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Perche. He was probably a minor in 1119. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Warwick] Waleran [4th Earl of Warwick], and Henry, and three daughters, Gundred (wife of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Roger de Glanville), Margaret, and Agnes (wife of Geoffrey de Clinton the younger). He joined his parents, Henry and Margaret, in an undated grant of property to Warwick St. Mary. He succeeded to the earldom in 1123, before Easter, presumably when he came of age. He completed the foundation of the collegiate church of St. Mary and All Saints, Warwick c.1123. He attested charters of King Henry I, the two latest in 1131. After the accession of King Stephen, he was at the Easter court in 1136 at Westminster. He witnessed the king's charter of liberties at Oxford in April 1136. Following the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he joined the Empress Maud of his own free will. He served with her at the Siege of Winchester in 1141, but early in 1142 he was with King Stephen at Stamford. At an unknown date he allowed Warwick Castle to be garrisoned by Stephen's troops. In 1153 he was with the king when he heard that the garrison had been tricked by Henry's knights and the Castle surrendered. He founded the Templars' House and St. Michael's Hospital, both in Warwick, and completed the foundation of Warwick Priory. ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, died in 1153. In the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II [1158-9], his widow, Gundred, had remission granted of the scutage upon 20 knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. She married (2nd) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE LANCASTER (also known as WILLIAM FITZ GILBERT), of Kendal, Westmorland, Lamplugh, Muncaster, and Workington, Cumberland, Garstang, Ulverston, Warton, and Wyresdale, Lancashire, etc., son and heir of Gilbert, by his wife, Godith. In the period, 1150-5, Roger de Mowbray granted him all his land of Lonsdale, Kendal, and Horton in Ribblesdale. In the period, 1153-60, he was granted lands in Gastang, Ulverston, and Warton, Lancashire by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. In the period, 1153-6, he and his wife, Gundred, and his son and heir, William, granted the canons of St. Mary de Pré, Leicester the manor and church of Cockerham, Lancashire. In the period, 1156-60, he added common of pasture throughout his fee in Lonsdale and Amoundemess. His wife, Gundred, Countess of Warwick, was living in 1166. WILLIAM DE LANCASTER died before Michaelmas 1170, when Richard de Morville proferred 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with Avice his wife, daughter of the said William.
