Other records that mention William de Detling

As noted on his profile page, 8406480William's son and grandson were both also named William, and allegedly his father and grandfather were named William, too. The multi-generational repetition of the name William and lack of unique surnames can make it difficult to distinguish which William a record refers to, especially when a record provides few other contextual details.

For general interest and to aid future research, on this page I present all of the contemporaneous, Detling-area records I've found that mention William de Detling that are not otherwise used or cited in the main profile descriptions of 8406480William, 4203240William, or 2101620William.

Description:
Maud de Detlyngg, widow of William de Detling brought a writ of dower against John de [Sumery] and his mother Agnes for the manor of Rugeley, formerly held by her late husband, but the justices would not give judgment.

This record is peculiar due to the great distance between Detling and Rugeley.
