        ========================
        Birth: unknown Death: Apr. 7, 1239 Reading Berkshire, England

        William de Cantilupe was married to Mascelina, daughter of Audult de Bracy. William died at a very great age on 7 Apr 1239. His son and heir, William II, was most likely his son by his wife Mascelina. William Cantilupe was living during the reign of King John. He was steward of the household, and one of the chief counselors who remained faithful to John. William joined the Barons for a brief time, but returned his loyalty to King John, and was rewarded for his allegience. He received the forfeited lands of rebellious barons as a reward from the King. Included in this was Kenilworth Castle, which he made his principal residence. Henry III kept Catilupe in his office as Steward, and Catilupe continued to increase his land holding. He bought the wardship of the heirs of five great estates; matching one heiress with a brother, another with a son and keeping a third for himself. He died in 1239, leaving five sons, William, Walter, John, Nicholas and Thomas. His 5th great granddaughter

        CANTILUPE alias CANTILOUPE FAMILY OF LINCOLNSHIRE
        William I de Cantilupe was the son and heir of Walter I de Cantilupe of Lincolnshire and entered the future king John's household as his steward in 1198. Was to remain loyal to John throughout the latter's turbulent reign. He was described by Wendover as being one of John's evil counsellors, no doubt due his role of what Holden describes as being the gaoler of the baronial hostages. William was to benefit from John's grants of lands that were confiscated from those landholders that chose to remain in Normandy post 1204, and also granted custody of lands confiscated from many of the baronial rebels 1215-1216. He was able to survive the faction-fighting of Henry III's early reign, siding with Hubert de Burgh or Peter de Roches as necessary. His position as royal steward brought him into close contact with the kings whom he served, that gave him the opportunity for collecting custodies and wardships and raise his family status, as well as ensuring his heir with a position at court. William II de Cantilupe demonstrated by his appointments as arbitrator and diplomatic representative, as as a custodian of the kingdom in the king's absence, the continuing trust in and reliance upon his household which Henry III showed in the late 1230's and 1240's. His obtaining the custody of Eva de Braose in 1239, and eventual marriage to his heir, made the Cantilupes, for a time, a power in the Welsh marches. With reference to “Bruton Cartulary ” - The Cantilupe family were Norman in origin with the patriarch possibly being Alexander I de Cantilupe, who, an inquisition held in 1329 recorded “came into England with William le Bastard, and he then had ex conquestu the hundred of Bruton. And afterwards the heirs of the said Alexander, together with the other Normans were exiled from England, and then the king had the said two marks by escheat of the Normans.”

        [SRS V8, page 102/3] Not dated. Bruton Cartulary - No. 380. Inquisition made at Cherlton Mucegros on the morrow of the Ascension, 3 Edward III [1329] before Robert de Radyngton, sub-escheator of the king in the counties of Somerset and Devon, by ------------------. Who say that Alexander de Cantelupe came into England with William le Bastard, and he then had ex conquestu the hundred of Bruton. And in his seisin he enfeoffed the priory of Bruton of the said hundred, rendering to him and his heirs two marks annually. And from that time the canons of Bruton held, and as yet hold the said hundred of the king in chief; rendering two marks annually.

        [SRS V8, page xviii] Introduction - [c1242-1254] As sheriff William de Moion would have to administer the estates of the Crown and he had therefore been for a time officially connected with Bruton. His son William was made earl (comes) by Queen Matilda, and it would appear that at some time in the early part of the twelfth century, if not before, William the earl was enfeoffed of the manor and advowson of Bruton while the Norman family of Cantilupe received the smaller post-domesday hundred of Bruton.
