• Notes

  William succeeded his father as Lord of Abergavenny, Builth, Bramber and Knepp as well as other March Lordships in1227. Styled by the Welsh as "Black William" he was imprisoned by Llewelyn ap Iorwerth in 1229. He was ransomed and released after a short captivity during which he agreed to cede Builth as a marriage portion for his daughter Isabella on her betrothal to David, son and heir of Llewelyn. The following Easter, Llewelyn discovered an intrigue between his wife, Joan, and William. Supported by a general clamour for his death, Llewelyn had William publicly hanged on 2nd May 1230.
