• Notes

  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 the shereriffalty of Worcestershire, which he enjoyed by inheritance, he was sheriff of Warwickshire (2nd year of Henry II.), sheriff of Gloucestershire (from the 3rd to the 9th year of Henry II., inclusive), and sheriff of Herefordshire (from the 8th tto the 16th year of Henry II., inclusive). Upon the levy of the assessment towards the marriage portion of King Henry's daughters, this powerful feudal lord certified his knight's fees to the amount of fifteen. He married Maud Braose, daughter of William de Braose, Lord Braose, of Gower, and was succeeded, at his decease, by his son, William.
