He married before 10 August 1353 (date of priepapal indult) ELIZABETH DE ARUNDEL, daughter of Edmund de Arundel, Knt., 9th Earl of Arundel, by Alice, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt. [see FITZ ALAN 10 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Elizabeth. He was repeatedly in France from Crecy in 1346 until 1381 and was the king's principal representative in Brittany from 1359-67, acting as king's lieutenant from 1361. In 1351 he had livery of his father's lands and in 1352 had seisin of the office of engraving and making the King's dies in the Tower of London and the city of Canterbury.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“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.
