      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      "WILLIAM LONGESPEE, Knt., of Amesbury, Aldbourne, Chitterne, Shewton, and Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Canford, Dorset, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Avington, Berkshire, Holrner (in Little Missenden), Buckinghamshire, Brattleby, Lutton, Sutton St. James, and Swaton, Lincolnshire, Bicester, Middleton (in Middleton Stoney), and Stratton (in Stratton Audley), Oxfordshire, Charlton Horethorne, Somerset, etc., son and heir, born say 1208 (minor at his father's death in 1226, confirmed his mother's charter in 1229). He married by arrangements dated April 1216 IDOINE DE CAMVILLE, daughter and heiress of Richard de Camville, of Avington, Berkshire, Godington, Middleton (in Middleton Stoney), and Stratton (in Stratton Audley), Oxfordshire, by Eustache, daughter and heiress of Gilbert Basset, of Bicester and Wretchwick, Oxfordshire [see COURTENAY 1.ii.a for her ancestry]. She was of age in 1226. They had three sons, William, Knt., Richard, Knt., and Edmund, and two daughters, Ela and presumably Agnes [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. About 1220 he had a dispute with the Abbot of Barlings regarding the advowson of the church of Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire. In the period, 1229-36, Henry, Abbot of Crowland, and others, and their men of the hundreds of Fleet, Holbeach and Whaplode, William Longespee and Idoine his wife, Simon, Prior of Spalding, and others, and their men of the hundreds of Gedney, Sutton, Lutton and Tydd, reached agreement concerning the marsh without Fendike, Lincolnshire. William took part in the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230. He was knighted by the king at Gloucester in 1233. The same year he was at Grosmont with the king in his expedition against the recalcitrant barons in the West. In 1237-8 he unsuccessfully claimed custody of Salisbury Castle and the county of Wiltshire by hereditary right. Thereafter the title of Earl of Salisbury was withheld from him. In 1239 he was granted a weekly market at Swaton, Lincolnshire, which market was allegedly detrimental to the nearby markets at Folkingham and Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Sometime before 1240 he gave his lands in Diddenham (in Shinfield), Farley [Hill] (in Swallowfield), Hinton (in Hurst), and Sheepbridge (in Swallowfield), Berkshire to Henry de la Mare, Knt. He went on a crusade to Palestine with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, from June 1240 to early 1242. He took part in an expedition to France in 1242-3, fighting at Saintes. He was in Wales on service in 1245. In 1248 the prior of Steventon brought a writ of assize of novel disseisin against William Longespee and others bringing down a certain dike in Steventon, Berkshire to the nuisance of his free tenement in the same vill. The same year John de Turberville brought a writ of novel disseisin against William Longespee for his common of pasture in East Hendred, Berkshire which pertains to his free tenement in the same vill. In 1247 William again took the cross, starting in July 1249 as leader of the English crusaders. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPEE was slain fighting against the Saracens at the Battle of Mansourah on the Nile, Egypt 7 Feb. 1249/50. Administration of his estate was granted to his brother, Stephen Longespee and Henry de la Mare, as executors of his will, 27 Sept. 1250. His widow, Idoine, died between 1 Jan. 1250/1 and 21 Sept. 1252.

William Longuespee, in order to collect money from those who had assumed the cross, like Earl Richard, wisely went to the Roman court, and, addressing the Pope on the matter of the crusade, said to him: 'My lord, you see that I have taken the sign of the cross, and am in readiness for the journey, to join the king of France in his pilgrimage, and to fight for God. I bear a great name, and one well known, namely, William Longuespee; but my property is small. The king of England, a kinsman of mine and my liege lord, has taken from me my title of earl, together with all my substance; this, however, he did judicially, not in his anger, or by any violence of self-will; therefore I do not blame him. I am obliged to fly to the paternal bosom of your compassion, to 'ask aid from you in this state of necessity ... The pope, therefore, on considering the eloquence of the speaker, the efficacy of his reasoning, and the handsomeness of his person, showed himself favourable to the petitioner, and in part granted what he demanded, that is to say, a thong out of another man's skin.").
