William De Beauchamp 
William was born in 1237 in Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, England. William's father was William De Beauchamp and his mother was Isabel de Mauduit. His paternal grandparents were Walcheline (Walter) De Beauchamp and Joane (Isabel) De Mortimer; his maternal grandparents were William de Maudit and Alice de Newburgh. He had four brothers and five sisters, named Walter, John, Thomas, James, Maud, Joan, Sybil, Sarah and Isabel. He was the second oldest of the ten children. He died at the age of 61 on June 9th, 1298 in Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, England. He was buried on June 22nd, 1298 in Grey Friars, Worcester, England.General Notes
William de Beauchamp inherited not only the feudal barony of Elmley from his father, but had previously derived from his mother the Earldom of Warwick (originally possessed by the Newburgh's) and also the barony of Hanslape, which had belonged to the de Maudits. This eminent nobleman was a distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish Wars of Edward I. "In the 23rd year of which reign (1294/5), being in Wales with the king," as Dugdale relates, "he performed a noble exploit, namely: Hearing that a great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain, betwixt two woods, and to secure themselves had fastened their pikes to the ground, sloping toward their assailants, he marched thither with a choice company of cross-bowman and archers, and in the nighttime encompassing them about, put betwixt every 2 horseman, one crossbowman, which cross-bowman killing many of them that held the pikes, the horse charged in suddenly and made a very great slaughter." This was done near Montgomery. His lordship married Maud, widow of Girard de Furnival, and one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of Richard FitzJohn, son of John FitzGeoffrey, Chief Justice of Ireland, by whom he had surviving issue: Guy, his successor, Isabel, who married Peter de Chaworth (from whom you descend in several ways. E. E. W.), Maud, Margaret, Ann and Amy. William de Beauchamp, first Earl of Warwick of that family, died 1298, having previous to his mother's death used the style and title of Earl of Warwick, with what legality appears very doubtful.
