  === Life Sketch ===
  William Marshall (aka William Marshal) was born in 1214 in Hingham, Norfolk, England, to Sir. John Marshal, knight, and his wife Lady Aline de Rye (aka Rie), daughter and heiress of Hubert IV, Lord of the Barony of Rye (aka Ryes, near Bayeux, Normandy, France).
  William Marshall served King and country in both military and civil service. He was named Deputy Marshal of Ireland by Henry III and in 1242 was given full title to his lands. In 1260 he served in Wales combating the semi-autonomous Princes of that land. In 1263, he was a commissioner looking into offences against the Provisions of Oxford. In the Barons' War of the 1260s he sided with Simon de Montfort, and was one of the Barons' representatives at the Mise of Amiens; he was taken prisoner at Northampton, and released after the battle of Lewes. Finally he was killed in August 1265 during or from wounds suffered in the Battle of Evesham, Gloucestershire, England. [1]
  He married first, Lady Pernel Ortiay (Urtiaco), daughter of Sir Henry d'Ortie (Urtiaco) but they had no children. In 1256 he married Lady Elizabeth (de) Ferrers, a teenager and daughter of the Earl of Derby by his second wife. Their son John Marshall was born in 1257. They are said to have had another son, William Marshall, but he died as a child or without issue as no record of his family has been found

He was heir in 1242 to his older brother, John Marshal. He married (1st) PERNEL DEL ORTIAY, daughter of Henry del Ortiay (or Lorty), Knt. They had two sons, John, Knt., and William. In 1247, as William Marshal, of Norton, he reached agreement with William de Brackley, Prior of Luffield, whereby he quitclaimed the service of a pair of gilt spurs and suit of court every three week in respect of an estate at Monksbarn (in Whittlebury), Northamptonshire, so that the prior should thereafter hold of him in free alms, quit of all secular service. The same year he also reached agreement with the Templars regarding rent owed for land in Cowley, Oxfordshire. He married (2nd) ELIZABETH DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 2nd wife, Margaret (or Margery), daughter of Roger de Quincy, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. He was granted weekly markets to be held at the manors of Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset and Messingham, Lincolnshire in 1265. WILLIAM MARSHAL died Sept. 1265. In Feb. 1266 the king, having granted his nephew, Henry of Alrnain, all the lands and tenements in Norton, Northamptonshire formerly of William the Marshal his messenger, ordered that the goods and chattels formerly of the same William be delivered to the said Henry. William's widow, Elizabeth, married (2nd) before 1274-5 (date of lawsuit) DAVID AP GRUFFUDD, Knt., Prince of North Wales, younger son of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, by Senena fetch Cadadog. They had two sons, Llywelyn and Owain, and seven daughters, including Gwladus. By his mistress, Tangwystl, daughter of Owain Fflam, of Deheubarth, he also had an illegitimate son, Dafydd Goch. In 1242 his mother, Senena, agreed to give him and his brother, Roderick, as hostages to King Henry III of England. In 1252, as lord of Cwmwd Maen, he entered into a composition with the Abbot and convent of Bardsey. He presented to the church of Plumpton, Northamptonshire 24 Dec. 1273. In 1274-5 Hubert de Rully and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against David Fitz-Griffin touching a mill in Foulsham, Norfolk. In 1275-6 Hubert de Rully and Isabel his wife, and Nicholas de Pulham and Aveline his wife arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against David ab Gruffud and Elizabeth his wife touching a mill in Foulsham, Norfolk.

In the same year Albric de Wytlebiry arraigned a similar assize against David ab Gruffud and others touching a tenement in Great Blakesley, Northamptonshire. In 1279 he and his wife, Elizabeth, sued her step-son, John Marshal, for a third of the manor of Colton, Staffordshire as the dower of Elizabeth; John stated he only held a rent of 12s. of which he offered a third. In 1280 the king seised the third part of the manor of Haselbury, Somerset, which David and his wife, Elizabeth, held as the dower of the said Elizabeth of the lands which were of William Marshal her late husband; later the same year the king wishing to grant indulgence to the said David and Elizabeth ordered that the third part of the manor be restored to them. In 1282 David suddenly surprised the Castle of Hawarden, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger de Clifford, the Justiciary, as a prisoner into the hills. DAVID AP GRUFFUDD, Prince of North Wales, was executed for treason 3 October 1283. His widow, Elizabeth, presented to the church of Plumpton, Northamptonshire in 1285. She presented to the church of Greens Norton, Northamptonshire 20 Dec. 1296, which presentation was disputed by King Edward I, as guardian of William, heir of John Marshal.
