1252 By letters patent, dated September 4th, 1252, Sir William Fitzherbert, fourth lord of Norbury, obtained a grant of free warren over his manor of Norbury by King Henry III. [1] [2]
1267 William Fitzherbert, of Norbury, gave the manor of Norbery to Henry, his son. [3]
Research Notes:
1265 Isabella, widow William Fitzherbert, entered an agreement with her son, Richard. [4] The identity of Isabella, widow of William Fitzherbert was reviewed by Yeatman [5]:
There is a very puzzling statement in the Fitzherbert muniments which it is difficult to understand, in a charter by which Isabella, widow of William Fitzherbert, granted Twycross to her son Richard. She is called "Domina Isabella." Twycross was clearly an Albini Manor, and it is stated that about 1240 Thomas, the son of this Richard Fitzherbert, held Twycross of Isabella de Albini for half a fee. This charter is dated the Feast of St. Martin in Hieme in 50 Henry III. ... The Lady Isabella, if she were of the Cainho family, must therefore have married William Fitzherbert intermediately, between her first husband, by whom she left her heir (Wm. Pincerna, of Hocreton), and her last husband, Drago de Pratelles, whom she married in 28 Henry III. The date of the death of William Fitzherbert is unknown. He was living 1 Henry III., for he was then restored to his estates, which he had forfeited for rebellion against King John.
