1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

In 1239 Pope Gregory IX granted a dispensation to "Matthew de Cantelupe, clerk of the diocese of York, brother to the Bishop of Worcester, allowing him to hold more benefices than one." At an unknown date, he reached agreement with Philip, Abbot of Bordesley, relative to the fishery in the water called `Arewe' and common of pasture in the woods and fields in `Osmerleg' and in the wood called ‘Sortwode.'

“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.

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.

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.

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).

(*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.)”
