A sallyhaving been made, however, from the garrison, much of the baggage of thebesiegers was captured and, amongst other things, the banner of the EarlWilliam. His lordship seems to have made his peace soon after, for wefind him engaged in the Welsh wars. He d. in the flower of his age, 25December, 1227, and, as he left no issue, the Earldom of Essex devolvedupon his sister, Mary, Countess of Hereford, while the lands which heinherited passed to his half-brother, John FitzPiers.
