“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD, Knt., of Huntingfield and Mendham, Suffolk, Harlton, Cambridgeshire, Frampton, Fishtoft, and Southorpe, Lincolnshire, etc., Constable of Dover Castle, 1203-4, Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1209-11, justice itinerant in Lincolnshire, and, in right of his wife, patron of Castleacre Priory, son and heir of Roger [Fitz William] de Huntingfield, of Huntingfield, Linstead, and Mendham, Suffolk, Frampton, Huttoft, Southorpe, and Tytton (in Wyberton), Lincolnshire, East Bradenham, Norfolk, etc., by Alice de Senlis, daughter of Saher de Quincy, of Long Buckby and Daventry, Northamptonshire. He was born about 1160. He married before 1194 ISABEL FITZ WILLIAM (otherwise DE GRESSENHALL), widow successively of Berenger de Cressy, and Osmond de Stuteville, of Weston Colville, Cambridgeshire (died in Palestine, probably during the Siege of Joppa about 1187), and daughter and heiress of William Fitz Roger, of Gressenhall and Castleacre, Norfolk, by his wife, Aeliva. They had two sons, Roger, Knt., and presumably Saher, and four daughters, Alice, Isabel, Sarah, and Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he disputed with his wife's son, William de Stuteville, concerning his wife's dower. In 1195 the Abbot of St. Edmunds granted the whole vill of Wendling, Norfolk to William de Huntingfield and his wife, Isabel, and her heirs for 50s. a year. Sometime c.1204-12, he witnessed a charter of Alexander, Abbot of Sibton to Thomas son of Roger de Huntingfield, presumably his brother. In 1205 he was granted the manor of Clafford, Hampshire. In the period, 1204-17, he witnessed a charter of Ralph the chaplain of Heveningham to John Fitz Robert, lord of Ubbeston. His wife, Isabel, died in 1207. In 1208 he had custody of the lands of his brother, Roger, which had been seized in consequence of the interdict. From 1208 to 1210 he was one of the justices before whom fines were levied. In the period, 1210-18, he witnessed a charter of his kinsman, Saher de Quincy, Earl of Winchester. In 1211 he gave the king six fair Norway goshawks for license to marry his daughter, Alice, then widow of Richard de Solers, and to have assignation of her dowry out of the lands of her late husband. In 1213 he held the office of accountant with Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, for the customs of Norfolk and Suffolk. In 1215 he joined the confederate barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons appointed to secure the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. He served as a witness to the charter granting freedom of elections to the abbeys. He was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III in late 1215, and his lands were taken into the king's hands. He reduced Essex and Suffolk for Prince Louis of France, and in retaliation John plundered his estates in Norfolk and Suffolk. In Nov. 1216 he was granted the vill of Grimsby, Lincolnshire with all liberties and free customs by Prince Louis of France. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217, where he was taken prisoner by the king's forces. On 23 June 1217 all his lands in Lincolnshire were granted to John Marshal. On conclusion of peace, he made peace with King Henry III 6 Oct. 1217, and had restitution of his estates. In 1218 he sued Nichole de la Haye for the recovery of chattels worth £273, which she seized from him in Lincolnshire when he was at arms against the king; a compromise was reached whereby Nichole gave William 30 silver marks in return for which he quitclaimed to her "all the right and claim that he had against her." In 1219 he had leave to go to the Holy Land on crusade; he appointed Thomas his brother to act on his behalf during his absence. SIR WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD died on crusade, possibly in the Holy Land, before 25 Jan. 1220/1.
