Notes:

"Margaret, the third daughter, was married to Henry de Bury, and was one of the most remarkable women of her time. Her husband was slain at Bury in 1315, by partisans of Adam de Banastre, whereupon Margaret became the ruler of Bury Town, in the annals of which place she is known as Great Dame Margery, Lady of Bury. Two years before his death her husband made settlement of his lands, which were to remain to Margery, daughter of Richard de Radclyffe, for life; then to Henry, son of Henry de Bury, and in default of heirs, to Alice, Agnes, and Isabel, daughters of the elder Henry, failing whom, to Adam, son of Matthew de Bury, and his heirs. Shortly before the death of her husband, another son, Adam, was born to Margery, but his father's untimely end prevented any alteration of the settlement. Margery's elder son, Henry, was slain in another affray in 1318, one of the ringleaders in which was a relative of Roger de Freckleton, whom Margery had appointed Rector of Bury. She thereupon arranged an exchange of livings, sending Freckleton to Radclyffe, and bringing to Bury Richard de Radclyffe, her brother, that in the midst of a host of enemies she might have the support of one of her own indomitable clan. In the County Rolls, under date of 1323, it is recorded that 'Margt. de Burie held Manor of Burie, and renders Socage 8s. and the same Margery holds the town and renders for ward of the castle 10s.'"' On the death of Lady Margery, the Bury estate passed to the Pilkingtons, by the marriage of Alicia, eldest daughter of Margery, to Roger de Pilkington."

Notes:

Also called William de Radcliffe of the Tower, "The Great Radcliffe."

From The Book of the Radclyffes [citation details below]:

William de Radclyffe was called "The Great William," likely because of his physical strength. [...] This era of British history was a troubled time with feuds and lawlessness rampant. William and his brothers played an active part in the lawlessness, and were keen supporters of the Earl of Lancaster. William and his brothers John and Roger, cousin Richard, and others, were charged with breaking into the manors of Richard de Hulton of Ordsall at Ordsall, Hulton and Flixton. They were also involved with assaulting William de Butterwyck.

These attacks were all part of the brutal feuds which were prevalent during this period. They all had connection with the political disturbances of the reign as well as being part of family rivalries, and the jealousy of one manor against another in the quest for power. [...] William Radclyffe married his family with a shrewd eye to the main chance, and when he died in 1333, the Radclyffes owned sway over a very considerable part of [Lancashire].
