  • Text: de Mandeville, Willelm
    Son of Geoffrey I de Mandeville of Pleshy, Essex, whom he succeeded c. 1100. He also succeeded his father as constable of the Tower of London, and office that led to his undoing when Ranulf, bishop of Durham, escaped from his custody in 1101. William was punished by the forfeiture of part of holdings, Walden and Great Waltham in Essex, and Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. After his death, before May 1116, his widow Margaret, daughter of Eudo Dapifer and Rohais de Clare, was remarried to Otuel, natural son of Earl Hugh of Chester. The lands and office forfeited by William were given to Otuel and passed to Otuel’s son William. He left issue his son and heir Geoffrey, future earl of Essex, and a daughter Beatrice, wife first of Hugh Talbot and secondly of William de Say (d. 1144). His heirs by 1190 were the descendants of his daughter Beatrice. Sanders, 71; Comp. Peer. v, 113-35; C. W.
