  Peter Corbet, who, it appears, was 'a mighty hunter,' for in the ninth year of King Edward I he obtained letters patent from the sovereign, authorizing him to take wolves in al the royal forests in various counties, a proof of the falsehood of common belief that our island is indebted to the exertions of King Edgar for the extirpation of that savage best of prey. This Peter Corbet, of Caus, had summons to Parliament, as one of the barons of the realm, from the 22nd of Edward I to his death in 1300. By Alice his wife, he had three sons, Thomas, Peter, and John. Thomas Corbet, the eldest son married Joah, daughter of Alan Plukenet, and died in the lifetime of his father, without issue.

   Note: Roger le Corbet (or Fitz Corbet) was granted several manors in Shropshire in 1069 by William the Conqueror as the Barony of Caus for his role in the Norman conquest and invasion of England. They were named after his Normandy estate in the Pays de Caux, in France. The Corbets owed fealty to Roger de Montgomery, the first Earl of Shrewsbury to help control Welsh Marches with absolute control over their demesne. Caus Castle was built by Roger le Corbet in the late 11th century as a high motte with a very small summit on which stood a tower and a strongly defended inner bailey. On the death of Beatrice Corbet in 1347, Caus passed to the Earl of Stafford. At its height, the borough had 58 burgesses resident in 1349, a year coinciding with the arrival of the Black Death in England.
