      “WALTER DE CANTELOWE, of Brimpton, Berkshire, Adber and Leigh, Dorset, Fontley and Oakley, Hampshire, and Barwick, Camel, and Chilton Cantelo, Somerset. He held two knights' fees of William de Roumare in 1166. He also held lands of William de Roumare in Normandy. He married AMICE ___. They had three sons, William, Knt., Robert Barat (or Cantelowe), and Roger Orget, and three daughters, Nichole, Sibyl, and probably Isabel. His name occurs on a role of the Norman Exchequer dated 1184. He was a member of the entourage of John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. In 1195 William de Saint Mary accounted £4 for the farm at Barwick, Somerset of Walter de Cantelowe for half a year. In 1201 he sued Robert de Cantelowe for the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset as being his right and inheritance, whereof his father, William de Cantelowe, was seised during the reign of King Henry II [1154-89]. In 1201-2 he conveyed all his right in the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset to Robert de Cantelowe; for this concession Robert gave Walter 28 marks of money, and thereupon Walter did homage to Robert in the Court. In 1204-5 the king issued a writ to the Sheriff of Norfolk to deliver to Walter certain lands in that county which the king had previously committed to the custody of William his son. At an unknown date, he granted in pure and perpetual alms for the salvation of his soul and those of his wife, Amice, his son and heir, William de Cantelowe, his other children, and his ancestors to Christchurch Priory 1/2 mark a year from his rent at Leigh, Dorset, viz. 20d. to be paid each quarter by Sampson de Leigh and his heirs. WALTER DE CANTELOWE was living in 1205, when the king gave him a dolium of wine.

      Children of Walter de Cantelowe, by Amice
      i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
      ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE (also known as ROBERT BARAD or ROBERT BARAT). He held the manor of Great Coxwell, Berkshire between 1201 and 1205. He was a member of the royal household before 1209, and was described as William de Cantelowe's brother on a number of occasions. He witnessed his father's charter to Christchurch Priory. In Jan. 1223 William de Cantelowe was given custody of Robert's son and heir, later named as Eustace de Cantelowe.

      Child of Robert de Cantelowe (otherwise Robert Barad), by ___:
      a. EUSTACE DE CANTELOWE (or EUSTACE BARET), of Barby, Northamptonshire, Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire, Basford, Nottinghamshire, etc., son and heir, minor in 1223. He married KATHERINE DE LISLE, daughter and heiress of Hugh de Lisle, of Barby, Northamptonshire, Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire, and Thorpe in the Glebe, Nottinghamshire. They had no issue. In 1241 he was sued by Walter de Grendale, who claimed 10 carucates in Barby, Northamptonshire and the advowson of the church and the manor of Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire and 3 virgates there as his right. In 1242 he had a respite of knighthood. In 1246 William de Harcourt, parson of the church of Ayleston, and all his successors were adjudged to do to Eustace de Cantelowe and his heirs the service of 1/40 fee for 1 virgate in Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire, which service had always been done to Aveline, late wife of Hugh de Lisle, who had held the manor of Lubbesthorpe in dower of the inheritance of the said Eustace, and also to William de Cantelowe in the name of custody of the said Eustace. In 1247 he sued Henry de Lillebum regarding a plea of land in Leicestershire. The same year he sued John Fitz Joerg regarding an unknown issue in Northamptonshire. In 1252 Eustace de Cantelowe being deceased without issue, the king restored to William de Cantelowe and his heirs, as their inheritance, the lands of the said Eustace in the manors of Barby, Lubbesthorpe, and Basford.

Soc. 21(1939): 132, 135. Church Household Knights of King John (1999): 27.
      iii. ROGER ORGET, of Great Bowden and Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1203 the king granted William de Cantelowe lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. Roger was in possession of these manors in 1221. On Roger's death, the lands were seized by the sheriff 30 March 1228. Hardy Rotuli de Liberate, ac de Misis, et Praestitir, Regnante Johanno (1844):189 (Robert Barat and Roger Orget styled "brothers" [fratibus] in 1210). C.C.R. 1227-1231 (1902): 426 (Roger Orget, deceased, styled "brother" [fratri] of William de Cantelowe in 1230). VCH Leicester 5 (1964): 133-153.
      iv. NICHOLE DE CANTELOWE. She married ___ DE WANNEVILLE. She was living in 1229. C.C.R. 1227-1231 (1902): 255 (Nichole de Wannevill' styled "sister" [sorori] of William de Cantelowe in 1229).
      v. SIBYL DE CANTELOWE, married GEOFFREY PAUNCEFOTE, of Exhall, Warwickshire. He was holding a 1/4 fee at Exhall, Warwickshire under the Earl of Warwick in 1235, but in 1242 1/4 fee was returned as held by Robert de Exhall and Ralph de Binton of Geoffrey Pauncefote, who was the undertenant of William de Cantelowe and he of the heir of Geoffrey Corbizun of Hunningham under the Earl of Warwick. VCH Warwick 3 1945): 49-57, 88-91 [“Early in the 13th century Richard Corbizun (probably son of a Geoffrey who occurs c.1155) granted the manor to William de Cantilupe, who passed it to his sister Sybil and her husband Geoffrey Pauncefote.”].
      vi. ISABEL DE CANTELOWE (probable daughter).* She married (as his 2nd wife) STEPHEN DEVEREUX, of Lyonshall and Frome Herbert, Herefordshire, Wilby, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of John Devereux, of Lyonshall, Herefordshire. They had one son, William. In 1227 he and his heirs were granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Lyonshall, Herefordshire. STEPHEN DEVEREUX died in 1228. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) RALPH DE PEMBRIDGE (or PENEBRUG). In her second widowhood, she gave to the Hospital of St Ethelbert for the souls of herself and her two husbands "unam ladum bladi" at the Feast of St. Andrew during her life to be received at her house of Frome. She was living in 1245. Coll. Top. et Gen. 2 (1835): 250 (charter of Isabel de Cantelowe dated pre-1244). Duncumb Colls. towards Hist. & Antiqs. of the County of Hereford: Hundred of Huntington (1897): 21, 49 (Devereux ped.). Holden Lords of the Central Marches (2008): 97-102 (re. Devereux fam.).
      (*Isabel de Cantelowe's maiden name is attested by her own charter [see Coll. Top. et Gen. 2 (1835): 2501. That Isabel was the sister of Sir William de Cantelowe (died 1239) seems virtually certain. Her son, William Devereux, is known to have had a daughter who married Sir John de Pycheford. Sir John de Pycheford's wife was styled "kinswoman" of Sir George de Cantelowe [died 1273] [see Cal. /P21,1 2 (1906): 16-211. Sir George de Cantelowe was the great-grandson and heir male of Sir William de Cantelowe (died 1239). For further particulars, see Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 6 (1858): 273.)”
