      “WALERAN, 4th Earl of Warwick, of Warwick, Warwickshire, 2nd son, born before 1153. He married (1st) MARGERY D'OILLY, daughter of Henry d'Oilly, of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, by Maud, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Steward to Kings Henry I, Stephen, and Henry II of England. They had two sons, Henry [5th Earl of Warwick] and Waleran, and one daughter, Gundred (nun at Pinley). He was heir in 1184 to his brother, William, 3rd Earl of Warwick. He was with King Henry II at Geddington, Northamptonshire in 1188. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I at Westminster 3 Sept. 1189. In 1195 he paid 20 marks for livery of the 3rd penny of the pleas of Warwickshire. In 1196 he paid £100 to be allowed to return to England. He married (2nd) about 1196 (when he offered 100 marks for her marriage) ALICE DE HARCOURT, widow of John de Limesy, of Collyweston, Northamptonshire (died before Michaelmas 1193), and daughter and heiress of Robert de Harcourt, of Bosworth, Leicestershire, Stanton-Harcourt, Oxfordshire, etc., by Isabel, daughter and heiress of Richard de Camville. They had one daughter, Alice. In 1199 he swore fealty to King John and is said to have carried the right hand sword at his Coronation. In 1200 he sold the reversion of the manor of Knoyle (in East Knoyle), Wiltshire to Godfrey de Lucy, Bishop of Winchester. In 1202 he was called into court by the Bishop to warrant the advowson of the church of Knoyle, Wiltshire against Maud, Countess of Warwick; Waleran was discharged from appearing in court as long as his knights were in the service of the king beyond seas. He was a benefactor of the Hospital of St. Michael, Warwick, of the nuns of Pinley, Warwickshire, and those of Wroxall, Warwickshire. WALERAN, 4th Earl of Warwick, died before 13 October 1204, it is said on 24 Dec. 1203. His widow, Alice, offered 1000 marks to remain a widow and be guardian of her children by the earl in 1205-6. She was living September 1212.

      2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “WILLIAM MAUDUIT, Knt., of Hanslope and Hawridge, Buckinghamshire, Letcombe Bassett, Berkshire, Hartley Mauduit, Hampshire, Westminster, Middlesex, Barrowden, Cottesmore, and South Luffenham, Rutland, Weston Mauduit, Warwickshire, etc., hereditary Chamberlain of the Exchequer, son and heir. He married before 3 March 1215/6 ALICE OF WARWICK, daughter of Waleran, 4th Earl of Warwick, by his 2nd wife, Alice, daughter and heiress of Robert de Harcourt [see WARWICK 7 for her ancestry]. They had one son, William, Knt. [8th Earl of Warwick], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1208 King John confirmed the manor of Walton, Warwickshire to Alice and her heirs, it being previously granted her by her father for her marriage. In 1220 Robert de la Mare sued him and his wife, Alice, for two carucates of land in Walton, Warwickshire. He presented to the churches of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, 1227, Hawridge, Buckinghamshire, 1227, 1228, and 1232, Barrowden, Rutland, 1232, and South Luffenham, Rutland, 1233 and 1234. In 1228 John de Neketone, rector, presented to the church of Cottesmore, Rutland with the consent of William Mauduit, the patron. In 1234 he acknowledged that he owed the abbot of Westminster service of 21s. 10d. from 14 tenants on his Westminster estate, in return for which arrears of the service were acquitted. In 1243-6 William and his wife, Alice, heir apparent of the Warwick estates, granted that if Margery, sister and heir of Thomas, late Earl of Warwick, died without issue that her husband John de Plessy would be earl of Warwick for life, and hold certain manors including Brailes, Claverdon, Myton, Sutton, Tamworth, and Wedgnock, Warwickshire. In 1247 he sued Robert de Wancy in a plea of wardship in Northamptonshire. In 1248 John de Plessy and Margaret his wife claimed the manor of Greetham and half the manor of Cottesmore, Rutland against William Mauduit and Alice his wife. The same year William and his wife, Alice, conveyed three acres of land in Weston Mauduit, Warwickshire to Geoffrey de Langley. In 1253 Roger de Hertewell and his wife, Isabel, quitclaimed 16 acres of land in Hanslope, Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Alice. SIR WILLIAM MAUDUIT died shortly before 14 Feb. 1257.
