• Notes

  William de Beauchamp, who for his zeal in the cause of the Empress Maud, was dispossessed of the Castle of Worcester by King Stephen, to which, and all his other honors and estates, however, he was restored by King Henry II, and in that monarch's reign, besides being sheriff of Worcestershire, which he enjoyed by inheritance, he was sheriff of Counties of Gloucester, Warwick and Hereford. Upon the levy of the assessment towards the marriage portion of the King's daughter, this powerful lord certified his knight's fees.
