• Alternate death: 1329

Notes:

"William le Boteler, s. and h. of Henry (who d. v.p.), and grandson and h. of William le Boteler, of Warrington, co. Lancaster, (who was Sheriff of co. Lanc. 1258-59, and Gov. of Lancaster Castle), suc. his grandfather about 1280, and 14 June (1294) 22 Edw. I, was summoned to attend the King in the French wars in Gascony, and was sum. to Parl. 23 June (1295) 23 Edw. I, 26 Aug. (1295) 24 Edw. I, and 6 Feb. (1298/9) 27 Edw. 1, by writs directed Willelmo le Butiller and Willelmo le Botiller de Werington, whereby he may be held to have become LORD LE BOTILLER. In (1305-06) 34 Edw. I he was in the expedition to Scotland. He d. about 1328. His widow Sibyl and his s. William were living in 1330. [The accounts of his issue are extremely contradictory, but none of his descendants (who were settled at Warrington, Bewsey, and elsewhere, co. Lancaster) appear to have been sum. to Parl.]" [Complete Peerage, citation details below]

Family/Spouse: Sibyl. Sibyl died after 1330. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. William le Boteler was born in 1309 in of Bewsey in Warrington, Lancashire, England; died on 17 Mar 1380.

Notes:

Annals of the Lords of Warrington (citation details below) says he was a knight of the shire for Lancashire in 1297 and died in the same year, but neither of these claims appear to be true. CP says that Henry died before his father, who died in 1280; this is why William's successor was William's grandson, Henry's son William (d. aft 1330).

Henry married Isabella le Boteler. Isabella (daughter of Richard le Boteler and Ellen de Haydock) was born in of Merton, Oxfordshire, England; died after 1328. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sometimes called Sibilla.

Notes:

Also called William Fitz Henry Pincerna. Knighted 1256; sheriff of Lancaster 1258-59; governor of Lancaster castle 1260.

VCH Lancaster (Warrington) appears to conflate him with his son William. Annals of the Lords of Warrington has him dying in 1303, contrary to CP's death date of 1280, which may be the result of a similar confusion.

William married Dionysia de Lostok. Dionysia (daughter of Henry de Lostok and Joanna) died before 1303. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Asserted by some online sources to have been a supporter of Thomas of Lancaster, and executed as a result. We have so far been unable to confirm this.

Richard married Ellen de Haydock. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Henry de Haydock gave half an oxgang of land in Norcross to Richard son of Sir Richard le Boteler and Ellen his wife, Henry's daughter." [VCH Lancaster volume 7, "Townships: Marton", footnote 16.]

Other Events and Attributes:

Alberic married Alina Garnet. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Her identity seems a bit uncertain. Thomas Dunham's 1823 History of Richmondshire shows the wife of Alberic, mother of his children, as "Beatrix, daughter and heir of Matthew de Villiers, Lord of Warrington."

Henry married Joanna. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Richard married Alicia Carleton in 1281. Alicia (daughter of William de Carleton) died after 1284. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also called Richard le Boteler.

"The Boteler of Warrington's fee within the honour of Lancaster consisted of 8 knights' fees, of which two in Warrington and one in Layton in Amounderness lay within the county. This fee had passed to the Boteler family by the marriage of Beatrix, daughter and heir of Matthew de Vilers, to Richard le Boteler, who is believed to have been younger brother of Robert le Boteler of Engelby and Durandesthorpe, co. Derby, hereditary butler to the earls of Chester. Very full particulars of the infeudations made by the Vilers family are given in this inquest, most of them by Pain de Vilers, father of Matthew, who is described as the first to be enfeoffed of this fee." [Lancashire Inquests, Extents, and Feudal Aids A.D. 1205 - A.D. 1307 by William Farrer, citation details below.]

Some sources call him Richard fitz Robert Pincerna, which would indicate that he was Robert's son rather than his younger brother.
