William Pantulph1

M, #16065

Of Noron, Calvados, Normandy, France1 
Marriage* Principal=Leceline (?) 
Burial* Cloisters of Noron1 
Title* 1st Baron of Wem in Shropshire1 
DNB* Pantulf, William (d. 1112?), baron, was one of Roger de Montgomery's tenants in the district of Hièmes in the diocese of Sées. The tenurial relationship between these two families existed as early as 1027–35. His mother's name was Beatrice, and she held lands ‘apud Fossas’ (not identified). Pantulf received large grants of land, and held authority in Roger's earldom of Shrewsbury, founded after 1071, but his lands were worth considerably less than those of the earl's other major tenants: the sheriff, Picot, and the Corbet family. He held eleven manors in Hodnet hundred, and Wem was their head.

In 1073–4 Pantulf was in Normandy, and gave the two churches of Noron, near Falaise, to the abbey of St Evroult, with 40 marks to establish a priory at Noron, and tithes of all the churches which belonged to him. The monks of St Evroult contributed £16 to a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Giles, near Nîmes, which he was about to make. On 23 October 1077 he was present with William I at the consecration of the church at Bec, and then went with Robert, a former abbot of St Evroult, to serve Robert Guiscard in Apulia. He was treated with honour, and was offered a gift of three cities if he would stay, but he returned to Normandy.

In 1077 Earl Roger suspected Pantulf of complicity in the murder of the Countess Mabel, Roger's wife, who had deprived Pantulf of his castle of ‘Piretum’ (Peray en Saonnais). Pantulf had had dealings with the murderer, Hugh d'Iglé, and took refuge with his family in the monastery at St Evroult. He submitted to the ordeal of hot iron before the king's court at Rouen, was acquitted, and gave four silk altar cloths from Apulia to St Evroult as a thank-offering. After the murder his estates had been confiscated by Earl Roger, but in 1086 he was in possession of twenty-nine manors in Shropshire, and others in Staffordshire and Warwickshire. After the death of William I, in 1087, Pantulf revisited Apulia, and in June 1092 gave the relics of St Nicholas to Noron. After becoming earl of Shrewsbury in 1098 Robert de Bellême deprived him of his lands, but when Bellême rebelled in 1102, Pantulf offered him his services. They were rejected, and he turned to Henry I, who put Stafford Castle in his custody with 200 soldiers. Pantulf detached Bellême's Welsh ally, Iorwerth ap Bleddyn, by negotiation, and he persuaded the garrison of Bridgnorth to surrender to the king. The king restored Pantulf's lands and gave him the fief of Roger de Courcelles as his reward for these services.

In 1112 Pantulf and his wife, Lescelina, and sons Philip, Ivo, and Arnulf confirmed their gifts to St Evroult, and granted 60 marks in silver to the new church, which Pantulf did not live to see completed. He died on 16 April, probably in 1112, and was buried in the cloister at Noron, together with his wife, who died on 21 September. His eldest son, Philip, succeeded to his Norman estates, and his second son, Robert, to his English ones.

Robert Pantulf (fl. 1130), according to the cartulary of the nunnery of Caen, robbed the nuns of 6 pounds of silver. In the Bedfordshire pipe roll for 1130 an entry is found concerning a trial by combat between him and Hugh Malbanc, whose estates were contiguous to Robert's.

Ivo Pantulf (b. before 1114, d. in or before 1176), probably Robert's son, succeeded him as baron of Wem. He attested a charter of Stone, Staffordshire, between 1130 and 1135 and a royal charter in December 1137 or 1138, and made grants to Shrewsbury and Combermere abbeys between 1141 and 1155. He appears in 1165 in the Black Book of the Exchequer and in the Staffordshire pipe rolls of 1167 and 1168/9. He made a grant to Haughmond Abbey in 1175/6. He had three sons with a first wife—Hugh, Hameline, and Brice—and two with Alice de Verdon—William and Norman. He was dead by 1176.
