William was born about 1135. William's father was King Henry I England. His paternal grandparents were King William The Conqueror and Matilda de Flanders. He had four brothers and four sisters, named Robert, Henry, Reginald Dunstanville, Robert (FitzRoy), Matilda Aethelic, Elizabeth Princess of, Constance and Matilda. William is no longer alive.General Notes
On December 29, 1170, Sir William de Tracy along with three other knights--Sir Reginald Fitz Urse, Sir Hugh de Morville and Sir Richard de Brito--acting on what they understood to be an order of William's cousin, King Henry II, murdered Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in his Cathedral. (See: King
Henry II of England for further details.) The following Easter, Pope Alexander III excommunicated the four knights. To expiate his sin, William granted his manor in Devon to the Cathedral Chapter in Canterbury and went on a pilgrimage in 1173, but died on the way to Jerusalem.
