   Biography
   Name
   William de Cantelow is the spelling used by Richardson. [1]
   Birth
   He was a Norman by birth. [1]
   
   1181 Marriage to Mesceline de Bracy
   He married Masceline (or Mazra) de Bracy (or Brascy, Braci), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire. They had four sons, William, Knt, Robert, Walter, Birshop of Worcester, and Matthew (Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire, as well as one daughter, the wife of Thurstan de Montfort. [1]
   
   She is currently shown born as 1163. [citation needed] If she was indeed born then, and married at age 18, the marriage would have taken place in 1181. The births of his sons could then be estimated beginning at 1182 and continuing at four year intervals, to allow for births of daughters in between.
   
   His wife, Mesceline, seems to have been living in 1220. [1]
   
   1198 Career under King John
   In 1198 he was Steward to John, Count of Mortain, the future King John(1199–1216), in which year his uncle Fulk de Cantilupe was also a member of the Count's household. From 1200 to 1204 he served as Sheriff of Worcestershire and in 1204 as Under-Sheriff of Herefordshire. [2]
   
   1202 Service as Sheriff in Warwick and Leicester
   Served the office of Sheriff for the counties of Warwick and Leicester in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years (1202-1204) of the reign of King John. In the next year he was made Governor of the castles of Hereford and Wilton, and he was subsequently Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1204/5. In the 11th year of the same reign, being then the king's steward, he gave 40 marks for the wardship of Egidia, Lady of Kilpeck, widow of William Fitz-Warine (in 1209/10), and three years afterwards, when the king was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, he remained so faithful as to become one of the king's chief counselors. Later he was arrayed under the baronial banner, and joined in the invitation of King Louis of France c 1215. But within the same year he returned to the king, when he obtained grants of all the forfeited lands of Richard de Engaine and Vitalis de Engaine, two leading barons in the insurrection, and was appointed Governor of Kenilworth Castle, co. Warwick. In the reign of King Henry III he continued attached to the cause of royalty, and acquired immense possessions in the shape of grants from the crown of forfeited lands. [3][2]
   
   William was of great account in the reign of King John. "He was steward of the household, and one of the chief counsellors, who in the fourteenth year of that unquiet reign, when the King his master was excommunicated by the Pope, adhered faithfully to him."— (Bridge's Northant). He stood by the King through all "his greatest Distresses,"and was magnificently rewarded; yet there had been a slight flaw in his allegiance—a few months during which he had gone over to the Barons, and invited Louis of France to be his sovereign. This brief aberration only paved the way to fresh rewards and favours, for, having "not long continued in his Error," he came back to be welcomed with open arms by the King, and receive the forfeited lands of William de Charnells, William de Folville, Nicholas de Verdon, and Thurstan de Montfort. He had already obtained the great possessions of the two Engaines, father and son, who were among the most powerful of the hostile barons, with the custody of Kenilworth Castle, of which he made his principal residence. Henry III continued him in his office of Steward, and, among many other grants, confirmed to him the Warwickshire manor of Aston—since Aston-Cantelow, which had been held by Ralph de Tankerville, Chamberlain of Normandy. Ever bent on increasing his territory, he was an indefatigable schemer, and bought the wardship of the heirs of five great estates; matching one heiress with a brother, another with a son, and keeping a third for himself. [3][2]
   
   1204 Granted Aston Cantlow
   In 1204, he was granted the Warwickshire manor of Aston, to which as was usual, was appended his family name. The location now has a modern cartographical spelling as "Cantlow", one of the many ancient variants of the family name. This manor had previously been held by William the Chamberlain de Tankerville before it escheated to the crown.[6]
   
   This came to be seen as part of the barony based in Eaton Bray, granted a year later (below).
   
   1205 Expedition to Poitoi
   In 1205 he took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou. In 1207, he was Sheriff of Worcestershire, serving until the end of the reign of King John in 1216. In 1209, following his appointment as Sheriff of Warwickshire and Sheriff of Leicestershire, his main residence became Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire.[4][2]
   
   1205 Granted Eaton, Bedfordshire
   In 1205, he was granted the manor of Eaton,[7] Bedfordshire, (from 16th-century "Eaton Bray") which became the caput of the Cantilupe feudal barony. The grant, for knight-service of one knight, was in exchange for the manor of Coxwell, Berkshire, which had been previously granted to him. Eaton had been held at the time of William the Conqueror by the latter's brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, but later escheated to the crown. At Eaton, Cantilupe built a castle.[2]
   
   1215 Role at the time of Magna Carta
   Cantilupe was granted several manors formerly held by rebel barons during 1215-16, at the time of the signing of Magna Carta (1215). He was commissioned by King John to negotiate the return of such rebels to peaceable relations. He served as gaoler of baronial hostages, which action probably gained him the description by the contemporary chronicler Roger of Wendover (died 1236) as one of John's "evil counsellors".[5][2]
   
   1216 Career under Henry III
   Following the death of King John in 1216, many of his appointees to governorships of royal castles were reluctant to hand over their castles to the regency council which governed during the minority of his son, the future King Henry III(1216–1272). They believed themselves obliged to hold their castles until Henry should have achieved 14 years of age,[8] when he would be able to follow his own policy.[9] These many refusals met with a forceful response from the council.[2]
   
   In 1217, under the regency council, during which year he was a Baron of the Exchequer, Cantilupe was at the siege of Mountsorrel Castle, Leicestershire, which was razed to the ground, and was also at the Second Battle of Lincoln. He served the council at the siege of Bedford in 1224.[4] He later served in Wales (1228 and 1231) and Brittany (1230).[2]
   
   Manors held
   Among the many manors held by William were Eaton, Bedfordshire; Ipsley, Warwickshire, as tenants of which the Hubbard family took the later arms of Cantilupe ("Cantilupe modern"), 3 leopard's faces jessant-de-lys; Brentingby, Leicestershire, as tenants of which the Woodforde family took the later arms of Cantilupe ("Cantilupe modern"), reversed.[10]; Calne and Calstone, Wiltshire.[2]
   
   1239 Death and Burial
   He died on 7 April 1239 at Reading, Berkshire, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire. [1]
   
   Issue
   There is some question as to who his sons were. Douglas Richardson names only William, Robert, Walter, and Matthew, but not John. [1]
   
   William de Cantilupe, his successor. [1]
   Robert, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, and Bingley, Yorkshire. [1]
   Walter de Cantilupe, a priest, employed by King Henry as his agent to the court of Rome, later Bishop of Worcester. [1]
   Matthew, rector of Ribston, Yorkshire. [1]
   John de Cantilupe, Lord Snitterfield, co. Warwick, married Margaret Mohun, daughter of John Mohun, Lord Mohun, of Dunster. They had a son, John, who d.s.p., and a daughter Eleanor Cantilupe, who married Sir Thomas West, Lord West, from which union lineally descend the Earls of Delaware and Viscounts Cantilupe. Not named by Richardson. [1]
   Nicholas de Cantilupe, of Ilkeston, co. Derby. Not named by Richardson. [1]
   Thomas de Cantilupe, elected Lord Chancellor of England by the barons in the 49th year of King Henry III.Not named by Richardson. [1]
   Research Notes
   Richardson does not name a second wife, Maud Doyley.[1]
   
   His wife Mesceline was married to him in, say, 1181, if she was born in 1163 and married at 18, and she was still living in 1220. This leaves only William's final 19 years available for marriage to a second wife.
