  Sir William de Mohun was of a very ancient and eminent family in Normandy, when the Conqueror had announced his intention of visiting England in arms, was one of the first of those gentry who engaged in the expedition, and all of his knights who came over with him were persons of distinction, both as to parentage and military enterprise. After the Battle of Hastings, and for good services rendered in that celebrated conflict, he obtained the Castle Dunster, with 55 manors in the County of Somerset, besides several other lordships in Wiltshire, Devonshire and Warwickshire.

   Note: William de Mohun (died 1176) William de Mohun (died 1176) (heir). During his tenure the barony comprised forty-six and a half knight's fees held by different military tenants. In the opinion of Maxwell-Lyte:[5] "It may fairly be surmised that the number had been originally fixed at forty and that one had been acquired by marriage. Five and a half knights' fees are distinctly stated to have been "of the new feoffment", that is to say creations of the period subsequent to the reign of King Henry I, and when an aid was levied in 1168, on account of the marriage of the King's daughter, William III de Mohun refused to pay on more than forty-one, persisting in this refusal until the end of his life".
