“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, Cold Hatton, Eyton, Harley, Hope Bowdler, Marton, Meole Brace, Stanwardine-on-campo, Stapleton, Whittingslow, and Wilderley, Shropshire, Aston Cantlow, Hunningham, Ipsley, and [Upper] Shuckburgh, Warwickshire, Poulton, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Royal Household, 1239-51, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1239-40, Keeper of the Town of Shrewsbury, Constable of Nottingham Castle, Keeper of Lundy Island, son and heir. He married (1st) before July 1215 or 1216 (date of pardon) MILICENT DE GOURNAY, Countess of Evreux, widow of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux in Normandy, Earl of Gloucester in England (died before November 1213), and daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, and of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc, by Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin [see GOURNAY 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux. In 1217 William was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. By the mid-1220s he was a follower of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and witnessed many of his charters. He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230. He married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1233 (date of lawsuit) MAUD FITZ GEOFFREY, widow of Henry d'Oilly (died 1232), of Hook Norton, Kidlington, and Little Minster (in Minster Lovell), Oxfordshire, and daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Sometime in the period, 1227-36, Maud had the manor of Gussage St. Michael, Dorset by gift from her half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In 1234 he served as one of the executors of the will of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1236 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In 1237 the king granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire for life. In 1241 he was one of the English arbitrators with Dafydd of Gwynedd. He was appointed one of the guardians of the realm during the king's expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1242 William son of William Marmion sued him. In 1242-3 he presented to the church of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in right of his ward, Philip Marmion. In 1244 Peter de Freney conveyed the manor of Clipsharn, Rutland to him. In 1244-5 William de Cantelowe, senior, levied a fine by which William de Haket was bound not to sell, injure, waste, or spoil any part of the manor of Little Merston (in West Camel), Somerset, as it was only his or life, and afterwards should go to the said William de Cantelowe. He was one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions. His wife, Maud, had a gift of bucks from Sherwood Forest by the king in 1245 and 1248. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTILOWE died testate 22 Feb. 1250/1. His viscera was buried at Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. In 1252 his widow, Maud, went to Scotland with Margaret, the king's daughter, Queen of Scotland, by order of the king. She held the advowson of the Rectory of Berwick St. James, Wiltshire for life. In 1260 Hawise de London, widow of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., leased to Maud and to Maud's nephew, John son of John Fitz Geoffrey, the manor of East Garston, Berkshire for a term of 11 years. His widow, Maud, died 1 March 1260/1.
