------------------------------------
William de Albini, surnamed Pincerna, son of Roger de Albin i and elder brother of Nigel de Albini, whose posterity ass umed and attained such eminence under the name of Mowbray , accompanied the Conqueror into England and acquired exten sive territorial possessions by royal grants in Norfolk an d other counties. of these grants was the lordship of Boken ham, to be holden by the service of being Butler to the Kin gs of England on the day of their coronation, and in conseq uence we find this William styled in divers charters "Pince rna Henrici Regis Anglorum." William de Albini founded th e abbey of Wymondham in Norfolk and gave to the monks of Ro chester the tithes of the manor of Elham, as also one caruc ate of land in Achestede, with a wood called Acholte. He li kewise bestowed upon the abbey of St. Etienne at Caen, in N ormandy, all his lands lying in Stavell, which grant he mad e in the presence of King Henry and his barons. He m. Maude , dau. of Roger Bigot, with whom he obtained ten knights' f ees in Norfolk, and had issue, William, Nigel, Oliver, an d Oliva, who m. Ralph de Haye. At the obsequies of Maud, Wi lliam de Albini gave to the monks of Wymondham the manor o f Hapesburg, in pure alms, and made livery thereof to the s aid monks by a cross of silver, in which (says Dugdale) wa s placed certain venerable reliques, viz., "part of the woo d of the cross whereon our Lord was crucified; part of th e manger wherein he was laid at his birth; and part of th e sepulchre of the Blessed Virgin; as also a gold ring, an d a silver chalice for retaining the Holy Eucharist, admira bly wrought in form of a sphere; unto which pious donatio n his three sons were witnesses, with several other persons ." The exact time of the decease of this great feudal baro n is not ascertained, but it is known that he was buried be fore the high altar in the abbey of Wymondham, and that th e monks were in the constant habit of praying for his sou l by the name of "William de Albini, the king's butler." H e was s. by his eldest son, William de Albini.
