1. Lord William of Montacute (b.1210)

Note: William succeeded to the Barony, and in 6th of Richard I, 1196, paid œ6-1-6 for his estates in County Somerset, as scutage for the king's ransom. He was Sheriff of Dorsetshire and Somersetshire in 6-7-8-9 years of King John, 1205-1209; which fully proves his importance at this time, when none but persons of the greatest rank and property were admitted to that office. Being one of the great barons of that reign who stood up for the liberties of their country, and being found 17th of John, in arms with the rebellious barons against the king, he was stripped of his lands in Counties Dorset and Somerset, which were seized by the king, and given to Ralph of Raleigh.
