Welcome To Our Site - Which is the working upgrade to the site of
Brookfieldpublishing Co. (click for link). This site has more capactity,
especially with video. Please use the tabs above and below to find
information.
Our efforts involve Education and History Especially
Involving Our Ancestors. The Magna Charta Barons, the leaders
especially those identified as Kings or Queens, those with
accomplishments during the life of George Washington; these are worthy
of recognition. Their achievements benefit all!
Remember To Respect the Accomplishments of Our Ancestors as our
Descendants May Respect Ours
There are several initial questions:
Why Join A Lineage Society?
How to Join a Lineage Society?
What the Lineage Societies Are Doing?
The taps provide ways to find the pages for the Barons, the Immigrant
Ancestors we are familiar with (including some of their distinguished
ancestors); ways to order sypplies and especially media, including video
and transcribed text.
We hope you enjoy our Site.

Magna Charta Baron Page
for
William De Lanvallei
Lord of Stanway Castle, Essex
WURTS’ MAGNA CHARTA provided a brief accounting of the feudal headquarters of some
of the Magna Charta Barons. Some of the castles have been badly damaged. Some have
disappeared entirely. Often we can learn of them through Medieval and Renaissance
accounts, and some of them require the discerning eye of the archeologist. Others await
the evidence brought out with a shovel and pick, by the trained archeological historian.
A portion of the information concerning Surety Baron WILLIAM de LANVALLEI is as
follows:
WILLIAM de LANVALLEI, the Surety, died 1217. He was governor of Colchester Castle (see
later under Quincey) in 1215, when he joined the insurgent Barons. He also had Stanway
Castle, which has since crumbled to dust. In 1212 Alan Basset of Wycombe, co. Bucks
(father of Philip Basset, Chief Justice of England, who is named in Magna Charta as one of
the King's liegemen) gave the King two hundred marks and "an excellent palfrey,"
so that his daughter Hawise might be married to William de Lanvallei.
Appreciation is expressed to Reed M. W. Wurts, one of the Heralds of the Society for
furnishing the Baron’s Shield on this page.
