Comment
Date: King John's contemporary inspeximus is dated 28 April 1200 (Rot. Chart., p 52). By an arrangement concluded a month or two previously, William's elder daughter, Marion, had been betrothed to another royal favourite, Peter de Pr6aux (Rot. Chart., p 33). In effect, Earl William was thus consenting to the division of his estates between the king's nominees. However, the birth of a son soon after these arrangements had been made, deprived his daughters of their status of co-heiresses and the marriages were never finalised (above, p 15)Charter on the DEEDS-homepage: http://deeds.library.utoronto.ca/charters/00790096
