Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Dorset
William de Mohun, espousing the fortunes of the Empress Maud, fortified his castle of Dunster on her behalf and, breaking out into open rebellion against King Stephen, laid the country waste around him. He subsequently, in conjunction with David, King of Scotland, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and the other partisans of Maud, besieged Henry de Blois (Stephen's brother), bishop of Winchester, in the castle of that place, and in consideration of these eminent services, is said to have been created Earl of Dorset by the Empress. He founded the priory of Bruton, in the co. Somerset, and endowed it largely with lands in England and Normandy.
