      “WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, Barby and Lubbesthrope, Leicestershire, Aston Cantlow and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Builth Castle, 1254, and, in right of his wife, of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Totnes, Devon, etc., son and heir. He married before July 1241 EVE DE BREWES (or BREUSE), daughter of William de Brewes, Knt., of Totnes, Devon, Kingston, Herefordshire, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, etc., by Eve, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal [see BRIWERRE 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, George, Knt., and two daughters, Milicent and Joan. Eve was co-heiress in 1230 to her father, by which she inherited a 1/4th share of a 1/3rd share of the barony of Miles of Gloucester. She was also co-heiress in 1233 to her great-uncle, William Briwerre, Knt. He went on the military expedition to Gascony in 1242-3. He was granted an annual fee of £50 at the exchequer in 1243. He received frequent gifts of deer and timber from the royal forests. He came into fierce conflict with John of Monmouth between 1248 and 1253 over Penrhos Castle. On 3 March 1250/1 he did homage for all lands and tenements which his father held from the king in chief. In June 1253 he gave the advowson of the church of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire to Studley Priory, Warwickshire to maintain hospitality and a hostel for the poor outside the priory gate. In 1253-4 he served again with the king in Gascony, emerging as one of the king's most important courtiers. He was still with the king in mid-July 1254, but must have returned to England soon afterwards. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died testate 25 September 1254, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire. He left a substantial sum of money in his will to redeem his unfulfilled crusading vow. His widow, Eve, died about 20 July 1255.
