William De Albini, feudal Lord of Belvoir, in the 6th of Richard I
[1195], was with that monarch in the army in Normandy, and the next year
w as sheriff of the counties of Warwick and Leicester, as he was
subsequently o f Rutlandshire. In the 2nd of King John [1201], he had
special license to mak e a park at Stoke, in Northampton, and liberty to
hunt the fox and hare (it l ying within the royal forest of Rockingham).
Afterwards, however, he took up arms with the other barons and, leaving
Belvoir well fortified, he assumed th e governorship of Rochester Castle,
which he held out for three months agains t the Royalists, and ultimately
only surrendered when reduced to the last sta te of famine. Upon the
surrender of Rochester, William Albini was sent prison er to Corfe Castle,
and there detained until his freedom became one of the co nditions upon
which Belvoir capitulated, and until he paid a ransom of 6,000 marks. In
the reign of Henry III, we find him upon the other siDe and a princ ipal
commander at the battle of Lincoln, anno 1217, where his former
associ ates sustained so signal a defeat. This stout baron, who had been
