William Boteler, in the 24th Edward I [1296], was in ward to Walter de Langton, lord treasurer of England, and Walter de Beauchamp, of Alcester, steward of the king's household. This feudal lord obtaining renown in the Scottish wars of the period, was summoned to parliament as a Baron from 10 March, 1308, to 10 October, 1325. His lordship m.

NOTE: There is an error here in Burke, for he states that William married Ankeret, dau. of Griffin, whereas Ankeret was, in fact, William's mother, not his wife. Burke states, regarding William's father, "William Boteler, who, in the lifetime of his father, had m. Ankaret, niece of James de Auldithley." These two Ankaret's are one in the same person, for she was the daughter of Gruffydd ap Madog by Emma de Audley, sister of James of Aldithley. I have changed my records to indicate the wife of William, the son, is Beatrice, as found on CD100, Automated Archives, Automated Family Pedigrees #1, the reference for which is given as NCP II :320-3.

William married Ela Herdeburgh, daughter of Roger De Herdeburgh and Unknown, before 1298.¹ (Ela Herdeburgh was born in 1276 in Wem, , Shropshire, England and died after 5 Jul 1343 ¹.)
