  • Notes 
    • William de Percy was only 15 when his father died, and now became by right Baron de Percy, but his uncle, Richard de Percy, found no difficulty in usurping not only the administering of the entire estates of the family, but even the baronial title as well. He married Eleana, daughter of Inglegram de Baliol, and her relatives gradually induced William to assert himself. Richard defied every effort to dislodge him, and when the King himself was appealed to, a compromise was effected by which Richard was left in undisputed possession of the barony and estates until his death, after which William was to inherit both, to the exclusion of the usurper's sons, who died sine prole. When William, 7th Baron Percy, at length came into his own, he was in his 52nd year, and died in 1245.
