[scary.ged]
WILLIAM MALET, Magna Charta Surety Baron, was mentioned in 1194 as a minor, in connection with an expedition made that year into Normandy had his principal estate of Curry-Malet. From 1210 to 1214 he was sheriff of the counties of Somerset and Dorset. When he joined the Barons against King John and became one of the Sureties his lands in four counties were confiscated and given to his son in law Hugh de Vivonia, and to his father in law Thomas Basset, and Malet was excommunicated by the Pope in 1216. He was also fined two thousand marks, but this remained unpaid until after his death, and, at that time one thousand marks were remitted, being found due to him for military service to King John in Poitou. It is of interest to note that there were five contemporary relatives named William Malet and they all held lands in England or in Jersey. He died about 1217. Sources:
