the manors of Petersfield and Maple Durham, co. Southampton, part of the lands of 
Geffrey de Mandeville, one of the rebellious barons then in arms. In the next reign he 
was sheriff of Devonshire and had further grants from the crown. By Margaret, his 
wife, he had issue, Alan, his successor, and William, who left an only dau., Joice, who 
m. Robert Mortimer, of Richard's Castle, and had issue, Hugh Mortimer, summoned to 
parliament as Lord Mortimer, of Richard's Castle; and William Mortimer, who assumed

William 1199, sheriff of Devonshire 1228-31, a witness to Henry III's confirmation of 
the Magna Carta, d. shortly before 14 May 1238. Browning, p. 308, lists him as son of

ROGER LA ZOUCHE, brother and heir, paid £100 to have William's lands in 1199. 
Those in England were seized, before 1204, while he was in Brittany, because of the 
war in Normandy, and he proffered 100m. to regain possession of them in that year. 
He served in Poitou, 1204-05 and 1214; was in Ireland, 1210; and swore to support 
the Barons who were enforcing Magna Carta in 1215. However, he soon joined the 
King, for he witnessed a royal charter, 11 June 1216, and was rewarded, both at the 
end of John's reign and during the opening years of Henry III, with numerous grants of 
land. He had licence to go on pilgrimage to Santiago, 6 August 1220; was given 
money as a royal messenger, October 1224; was going to Brittany, with the King's 
leave, May 1228; Sheriff of Devon, 10 November 1228-April 1231. In May 1229 he, 
with Philip Daubeney and Godfrey de Crawcombe, was allowed 100m. to cover the 
costs of a mission across the seas for the King. He served in Brittany, 1230; was 
ordered to find one knight at the King's cost to aid the Duke of Brittany, 1234; and 
was among those who witnessed Henry III's confirmation of Magna Carta at 
Westminster, 28 January 1236/7. He married Margaret, who was living in 1220 and 
presumably 1232. He died shortly before 14 May 1238. [Complete Peerage XII/2:931-
