This nobleman attaining majority in the 17thEdward II [1324], and then doing his homage, had livery of his father'slands, and the next ensuing year, being made a knight by bathing andother sacred ceremonies, had robes, &c., as a banneret, allowed him outof the king's wardrobe for the solemnity; after which he soon became apersonage of celebrity in the wars of King Edward III. His lordship wasfirst engaged in Scotland for some years, and he then embarked forBrittany, where he was made prisoner at the siege of Nantes. In the 19thEdward III [1346], he was sent into Gascony with Henry of Lancaster, Earlof Derby, and while that nobleman assaulted Bergerath by land, LordStafford commanded the force which attacked it by sea. the next year hewas constituted seneschal of Aquitaine, when John, son and heir ofPhilip, King of France, coming to besiege Aguillon, where his lordshipthen resided, he stoutly defended that place against the whole power ofthe French, until King Edward came to his relief, and forced the enemy toraise the siege. After this, joining his troops with the army of KingEdward, he had a principal command in the van of the English at theglorious battle of Cressy.

------------------------------------

WILLIAM DE SAY III, son and heir by 1st wife, had sailed with his fatherto France, and on 26 August 1230 was at Lucon, where the King took hishomage for all the lands which his father had held in chief. On 10February 1232 he was forbidden to go to a tournament at Blyth, because ofbusiness to be done in the march of Wales. On 8 August 1233 he was givenby the King two bucks in the forest of Essex (l). On 20 March 1235 he wasat Chippenham, where he and Geoffrey de Say, presumably his brother,witnessed a charter of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Hereford andEssex. In 1235 his lands in Kent were taken into the King's hand becausethe King had been informed that he had taken part in a tournament atCambridge; but he proved that at the time he was before the Justices inEyre in Sussex, and his lands were restored. On 20 December 1235 theConstable of Dover was ordered to permit him to postpone the building ofhis house in Dover Castle until the following Lent. He witnessed theagreement between Henry III and Alexander of Scotland at York in 1237. On28 May 1238 he was granted protection so long as he should be onpilgrimage beyond seas: and again in 1242 so long as he should be beyondseas with the King. On this expedition he distinguished himself in askirmish at Saintes on 22 July 1242, capturing the Frenchman John desBarres and 6 knights. He returned to England with Earl Roger Bigod andmany others in October. On 22 March 1245 he obtained a grant to him andhis heirs of free warren in the demesne lands of his manors ofSawbridgeworth and Edmonton. In 1245 he was granted protection so long ashe should be in Wales on the King's service, and the scutage for his feesin Norfolk for the army of Deganwy was paid to him. In May 1246 he wasgranted a weekly market and a yearly fair at his manor at Linton, and inJuly, a weekly fair at his manor of Bertre. Shortly after Easter 1247, hewas party to a fine whereby the manor of Saddlescombe (Sussex) was givento the Knights Templars in exchange for the manor of West Greenwich,which his grandfather Geoffrey had given them. At the same time, he wassettling a dispute with William, Earl de Warenne, about the fishery andhunting at Hamsey. On 19 March 1252 he was granted for life the rightfreely to hunt the wolf, hare, fox, cat, and otter without nets in theriver, in all the King's forests this side Trent, if he take none of theKing's deer.

On 6 August 1252 he was summoned to be at Westminster in the quinzaine ofSt. Michael with horses and arms ready to cross the sea with the King toGascony. In December 1253 he, with 2 of his knights, was given robes forthe coming Christmas festival, and on 20 December he was at Bazas withthe King. In 1254, indignant at an attack by the Poitevins on Welshraiders, he with very many others left the army with the King's leave,and returned to England. In 1260 he was summoned to be in London in 3weeks after Easter, with the service due to the King, and on 19 May wasappointed to keep the castle of Rochester. On 11 August he was summonedto join the army of Wales at Shrewsbury with horses and arms and theservice due from him, on 17 February 1261 he received orders inconnection with his summons to join the King; and on 18 October he wassummoned to London with horses and arms (g). On 17 October 1263 he wasordered to come to the King at Windsor with the horses and arms which hebrought to London, to treat of certain matters touching the realm: and in1264 summoned to be at Oxford in mid-Lent with horses and arms on affairsin Wales. On 9 and again on 11 May 1264 the King summoned him to attendwith arms and horses, and he was at the battle of Lewes on 14 May on theKing's side (h). The Earl of Gloucester seized some of his manors; butthe King, on 11 August 1264, directed Gloucester, whose bailiffs hadoccupied the manors during the recent disturbance, to hand over to Mary,William de Say's wife, the manors of Birling, Burham, Cudham and Bertre,because she had no means of maintaining herself and her family, and 'itwas improper and shameful that for lack of sustenance she should becompelled to beg.' On 8 August 1265 he was commanded to deliver theCounty of Kent to Roger de Leyburn. He was certainly completely restoredto favour from 1266 onwards, receiving frequent gifts, and obtainingpardons for various offenders.

He married, 1stly, Sibyl, and, 2ndly, Mary. He died before 12 February1271/2. Mary survived him and married, in or before May 1273, Robert DEUFFORD, Justiciary of Ireland 1276-81, and ancestor of the UFFORD EARLSOF SUFFOLK. [Complete Peerage XI:470-3, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(l) These gifts with other marks of favour recur frequently throughouthis life. Occasionally he was given live bucks and does to place in hispark at Sawbridgeworth.

(g) Yet on 12 May his tenants in the manors of Birling and Burham werenotified that the King had granted the lands to his son, because Williamwas with the King's enemies at the taking of Rochester and siege of thecastle.

(h) He fled to Tonbridge, where he told the garrison that the Londoners,routed by Prince Edward at the beginning of the battle, would probablyseek shelter at Croydon, and, before setting out for Bristol, thegarrison fell upon the fugitives and slew many of them in defiance of theroyal order to cease hotisilities.
