His wife, Beatrice, was co-heiress c.1266-7 to her niece, Joan, daughter of Simon de Beauchamp, Knt., by which she inherited a one-third share in the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, consisting of the manors of Astwick, Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick (in Stagsden), etc., Bedfordshire, Linslade and Southcott, Buckinghamshire, Belchamp William, Essex, and Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire. The same year Thomas was given the scrap iron from the broken dies, as his father and ancestors had had. SIR THOMAS FITZ OTES died shortly before 23 March 1274. In June 1275 the king granted custody of the lands and heirs of Thomas Fitz Otes to the king's kinsman, Maurice de Craon, to hold during the minority of the heirs, together with the marriage of the heirs, saving to Hugh Fitz Otes, brother of the said Thomas, land or rent to the value of £40 a year to hold during the said custody. She married (2nd) before 26 June 1278 (probably as his 2nd wife) 'WILLIAM DE MUNCHENSY (or MONTCHESNEY, Knt., of Edwardstone, Lindsey, and Theberton, Suffolk, and, in right of his wife, of Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., son and heir of William de Munchensy, of Edwardstone and Lindsey, Suffolk, by Joan, daughter and heiress of Geoffrey de Creke, Knt. He was born about 1230 (aged 24 in 1254). They had one son, William, and two daughters. He was heir in 1254 to his cousin, Ralph de la Haye, by which he inherited the manors of Layer de la Haye, Quendon, and Rettendon, Essex. In 1274-5 Master Alexander de Lolling arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Bradwell-near-Tillingham, Essex. In 1275-6 Denise de Munchensy, of Holedon, arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching possessions in Holton, Stratford, Monk's Eleigh, Chellesworth, and Lindsey, Suffolk. In 1276-7 he was granted letters of protection, he then going in the king's suite to the parts of Wales. He fought in Wales in 1277,1282, and 1283. About 1279 he conveyed 20 acres of arable land in Eldepak field in Finchingfield, Essex to Thomas de Spain. In 1279-80 Thomas de Spain arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against William de Munchensy, of Edwardstone, and others touching a tenement in Finchingfield, Essex. In the same period, Richard de Spain arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against William de Munchensy, of Edwardstone, and Thomas de Spain touching possessions in Finchingfield, Essex. In 1280-1 Andrew du Pont arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against William de Munchensy regarding a tenement in Laxfield, Suffolk. In the same year Hamo Pecche arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against William de Munchensy, of Edwardstone, and others regarding a tenement in Lindsey, Suffolk. In 1280-1 Hamo Pecche likewise arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him touching a tenement in Groton, Aldham, and Haclleigh, Suffolk. The same year Philippe daughter of Richard de Spayne arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against William de Munchensy regarding a tenement in Finchingfield, Essex. In 1283 his kinsman, John de Munchensy granted him the manor of Scales (in Haslingfield), Cambridgeshire. Sometime before 1283 he enfeoffed Roger de Pridinton with the manor of Coddenham, Suffolk. His wife, Beatrice, died before 30 Sept. 1285. In 1285 he was tried and condemned for having sent four men of his household to murder Hugh Bukky at Castle Hedingham, Essex, and for harboring one of the murderers. In 1286 he received pardon on condition that he go to the Holy Land and remain there in God's service for ever. An allowance of 100 marks yearly from the revenues and his lands was made to him, but he was still a prisoner at London in 1290. He appears to have gone to the Holy Land in 1292, and in 1297, he had leave to return to the realm with restoration of his lands. SIR WILLIAM DE MUNCHENSY died shortly before 14 May 1302.

“WILLIAM LE LATIMER, Knt., 3rd Lord Latimer, of Scampston and Danby, Helpringham, and Thornton (in Pickering Lythe), Yorkshire, Sutton, Bedfordshire, Gameslby and Unthank, Cumberland, Bozeat, Corby, and Sutton, Northamptonshire, Wotton, Surrey, Terrington, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1301 (aged 26 in 1327). He married c.1323 (date of fine) ELIZABETH BOTETOURT, daughter of John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt, by Maud, daughter of Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt. [see BOTETOURT 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium evidently included the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk. They had three sons, William, K.G. [4th Lord Latimer], Thomas, and Robert, Knt., and one daughter, Elizabeth (wife of Ralph de Ufford). He was summoned to Parliament from 7 August 1327 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Willelmo le Latymer. In 1328 her mother, Maud Botetourt, obtained a license to convey to William and Elizabeth his wife her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. In 1329 William was pardoned for having previously purchased without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint from his late mother-in-law, Maud Botetourt. In 1330 the king granted the manor of Isenharnpstead (in Chesharn), Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Elizabeth, which manor had formerly been given to William and Elizabeth by her mother, Maud, from her inheritance. In 1335 he complained that Thomas de la Grove broke his park at Isenharnpstead Chesharn), Buckingharnpshire, hunted and carried away his deer, and committed other trespasses. WILLIAM LATIMER, 3rd Lord Latimer, died shortly before 2 Nov. 1335. He was still unburied 10 Dec. 1335, when the king ordered that 500 marks of his goods be delivered to his widow, Elizabeth, and other executors. Elizabeth married (2na) before 20 August 1337 (date of pardon for marrying without the king's license) ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, 1st son and heir apparent of Robert de Ufford, K.G., 1st Earl of Suffolk, Lord Ufford, by Margaret, daughter of Walter de Norwich, Knt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Lord High Treasurer. They had no issue. In 1340 he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Lisle, and sent in irons to Paris. He was subsequently distinguished at the Siege of Lochrnaben Castle in 1341. He was summoned to Parliament 25 Feb. 1341/2, by writ directed Roberto de Ufford, le fitz. In 1343 he acknowledged that he owed a debt of 100 marks to William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Suffolk. He nominated attorneys going beyond seas 10 July 1344. ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, was living in October 1344, and died sometime before 19 June 1362. In 1346 Elizabeth was ordered to provide six men-at-arms and 12 archers for the Siege of Calais. In 1352 she exchanged the manor of Cardington, Bedfordshire for the manor of Renhold, Bedfordshire with her cousin, John Picot, Knt. She presented to the church of Corby, Northamptonshire in 1365 and 1368. In 1373-4 she and six others, presumably her feoffees, were granted permission to grant land in Bedford to the Prior and convent of Newnham, Bedfordshire. She also granted lands in Salpho Stagsden and Goldington, Bedfordshire to the same priory. Elizabeth, Lady Latimer, died 11 April 1384. She left a will dated 21 March 1383/4, proved 26 April 1384, requesting burial in the Priory church of Newnham, Bedfordshire.
