• Notes

  Sheriff of Gloucestershire 1484-85. Knight of the shire for Worcestershire. He fought for Richard III at Bosworth in 1485, and in the wake of that defeat he was attainted, 7 Nov 1485, and all his estates declared forfeit. The following year the new king, Henry VII, granted what had been William's manor of Northfield, Worcestershire to the king's uncle Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford. In 1489 William was restored in blood, and granted the reversion of Northfield after the death of Jasper Tudor. Despite this, when Jasper died in 1495, the king took possession of Northfield.
