  William Boteler, in the 24th Edward I [1296], was in ward to Walter de Langton, lord treasurer of England, and Walter de Beauchamp, of Alcester, steward of the king's household. This feudal lord obtaining renown in the Scottish wars of the period, was summoned to parliament as a Baron from 10 March, 1308, to 10 October, 1325. His lordship m. Ankeret, dau. of Griffin, and had an only son, William, his successor.

  ----------
  
  NOTE: There is an error here in Burke, for he states that William married Ankeret, dau. of Griffin, whereas Ankeret was, in fact, William's mother, not his wife. Burke states, regarding William's father, "William Boteler, who, in the lifetime of his father, had m. Ankaret, niece of James de Auldithley." These two Ankaret's are one in the same person, for she was the daughter of Gruffydd ap Madog by Emma de Audley, sister of James of Aldithley. I have changed my records to indicate the wife of William, the son, is Beatrice, as found on CD100, Automated Archives, Automated Family Pedigrees #1, the reference for which is given as NCP II :320-3.

   Note: Baron Boteler (sometimes modernly Baron Butler or Baron Botiler) was a title that was created three times in the Peerage of England. The first barony, Baron Boteler, of Warrington, was created by writ on 23 June 1295 for William le Boteler. It became extinct on his death circa 1328.[1] The second barony, Baron Boteler, of Wem, was created by writ on 19 March 1308 in the Peerage of England for William Boteler, grandson of Gruffydd Maelor II. It fell into abeyance in 1411, on the death of his great-granddaughter.[2] The third barony, Baron Boteler, of Brantfield in the County of Hertford, was created by letters patent on 30 July 1628 for Sir John Boteler, 1st Baronet, Member of Parliament for Hertfordshire from 1625 to 1626. He had already been created a baronet, of Hatfield Woodhall in the County of Hertford, in the Baronetage of England on 12 April 1620.[3] The titles became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baron, in 1657. George Boteler, half-brother of the first Baron, was created a baronet in 1643 (see Boteler baronets).[4] Barons Boteler; First creation (1295)[edit] William Boteler, 1st Baron Boteler of Warrington (died c. 1328) Barons Boteler; Second creation (1308)[edit] William Boteler, 1st Baron Boteler of Wem (died 1334) William Boteler, 2nd Baron Boteler of Wem (died 1361) William Boteler, 3rd Baron Boteler of Wem (died 1369), married Elizabeth Holand Elizabeth Boteler, 4th Baroness Boteler of Wem (died 1411) (abeyant) Her first husband was summoned in 1375 as Robert Ferrers of Wem, which by modern usage would represent a novel peerage, but he was likely summoned as Baron Boteler of Wem, jure uxoris.
