William Perceval de was born about 1188 in Dudley Castle, Warwickshire, England. William Perceval de's father was Ralph de Somery , Lord of Dudley & Dinas Powis and his mother was Margaret FitzGilbert Marshal. His paternal grandparents were John de Somery , of Little Crawley, Sir and Hawise de Paynel; his maternal grandparents were John "The Marshal" FitzGilbert and Sibyl de Salisbury. He had two brothers and a sister, named Ralph de, Roger de and Joan de. He was the second oldest of the four children. He died before June 20th, 1222.General Notes
WILLIAM PERCEVAL DE SOMERY, brother and heir. On 19 February 1220/1 he was granted the scutage of Biham; in 1222 he was party to a suit of land in Staffs. He was dead before 20 June 1222, when the Earl of Chester and Lincoln was granted the custody of his land and heir, with the heir's marriage. His wife is unknown.

SOMERY
Volume 12, Part 1, pages 111, 112:
William's wife, and the mother of his heir, appears to have been Rohese, the daughter and heir of Nicholas de Verdun of Alton, Staffordshire, by his wife Clemence. Rohese subsequently married, after 4 September 1225, Theobald Butler (d.1230) [Complete Peerage, vol.2, p.448].
In a charter for the priory of Grace Dieu, at Belton, Leicestershire, which she had founded, Rohese made provision for the souls of her husbands, although no husbands except Theobald have hitherto been identified [Dugdale, Monasticon Anglicanum, vol.6, p.567 (Caley's edn, 1817-30); the charter was confirmed by the king, 10 December 1241 (Cal. Charter Rolls, vol.1, p.265)].
It seems clear that Rohese had previously married William Perceval de Somery, from the terms of two orders concerning the custody of William's heir. On 20 June 1222 the king notified Nicholas de Verdun that he had granted custody of the land and heir of William de Sumeri, with the marriage of the heir, to the earl of Chester, and ordered Nicholas to deliver the daughter [apparently an error for "son", either in the original, or the published transcript] and heir to the earl without delay [Rot. Lit. Claus., vol.1, p.500, col.b]. On 27 January 1222/3 the king ordered Nicholas de Verdun and Rohese, his daughter, to deliver without delay the son and heir of William Perceval of Sumery to the earl of Chester [Rot. Lit. Claus., vol.1, p.531]. Rohese's inclusion in this order is explicable only if she is William's widow, and the mother of his heir, who seems to have been named after her father Nicholas.
