• Notes:

  === The next definite notice respecting Will ===
  The next definite notice respecting William de Wrottesley in contained on the Staffordshire Pipe Roll of 11 Henry III (A.D. 1227) which returns him as owing half a mark for license of concord, at the Iter of Stephen de Segrave in Warwickshire.
  
  The records of this Iter have been lost, but the Fine for which the above fee was paid has been preserved. It was levied at Coventry on the Morrow of the Octaves of St Martin 11 Henry III [19 Nov 1226] between William de Wrottele, plaintiff, and Simon de Cocton and Constance, his wife, tenants of a fourth part of a hyde of land in La Wyke, respecting which an assize of mort d'ancestor had been summoned between them. William remitted and quit-claimed to the said Simon and to Constance and to the heirs of Constance, all his right and claim to the said land, for which Simon and Constance gave him a mark of silver.
  
  These preceedings are of interest from their bearing on the descent of William from Simon de Verdun. The Wyke was a member of Coughton, but a separate manor, having been subinfeuded before the Statute of "Quia Emptores," and the site of the ancient manor house is still apparent from the remains of the moat which formerly surrounded it. Four years before this date a Fine had been levied at Warwick between Robert de Verdun plaintiff, and Simon de Cocton and Constance, his wife (by Simon, brother of the said Simon, put in place of the said Constance), of half a hide of land in La Wyke, respecting which an assize of mort d'ancestor had been summoned between them. By this Fine Simon and Constance conceded to Robert a virgate of land for the service of half a pound of pepper, and Robert released all claim to the remainder of the land.
  
  Constance was half-sister to Robert de Verdun, her father having married Iveta, the mother of Robert. [The History of the Family of Wrottesley p34]
