William de Beauchamp inherited not only the feudal barony of Elmley fromhis father, but had previously derived from his mother the Earldom ofWarwick (originally possessed by the Newburghs), and the barony ofHanslape (which had belonged to the Mauduits). This eminent nobleman wasa distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish wars of King Edward I."In the 23rd year of which reign (1294-5), being in Wales with the king,"as Dugdale relates, "he performed a notable exploit; namely hearing thata great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain betwixt two woodsand, to secure themselves, had fastened their pikes to the group, slopingtheir pikes towards their assailants, he marched thither with a choicecompany of cross-bowmen and archers, and in the night time encompassingthem about, but betwixt every two horsemen on cross-bowman, whichcross-bowman killing many of them that held the picks, the horsemencharged in suddenly and made very great slaughter. This was done nearMontgomery." His lordship m.
