  • Notes 
    • From BP3:
      ...in the 29th Edward I was in the Scottish wars, but in the next reign joined in the great insurrection of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster and, being made prisoner with that nobleman at the battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, was hanged at York immediately afterwards.

      Note that this death death of 1322 conflicts with TCP1 who has him dead by 1294.

      Another conflict lies with his spouse. Per BP3 and BEP2, this William married Agnes Grey, daughter of Richard, Lord Grey of Codnor. TCP is silent on his wife. But Baildon4 says that William married Agnes Metham, daughter of Sir John Metham and was dead by 1294.
