• Notes

  The family of Beauchamp seated at Powick, some three miles from Worcester, was a cadet branch of that of Beauchamp of Elmley, of which the earls of Warwick became the senior line, William’s great-grandfather, Walter, Lord Beauchamp, sometime steward of the Household to Edward I, having been a younger brother of William, earl of Warwick (d.1298). William’s uncle Roger, Lord Beauchamp of Bletsoe, was Edward III’s chamberlain in 1376-7, at which time his father was a knight of the King’s chamber and also, and until his death shortly before February 1389, constable of Gloucester castle. From his father William inherited, besides Powick, the manors of Acton (Worcestershire), Boddington and Nether Court in Kemerton (Gloucestershire), Alcester (Warwickshire) and South Brewham (Somerset), although the Somerset property was to remain in the possession of his mother until her death in 1411. Contemporary evidence of the value of these estates as a whole is lacking, although in 1412 those in Gloucestershire were estimated for the purposes of taxation at an annual worth of £60, and in 1436 William’s widow’s holdings in Worcestershire alone were valued at £154 a year.
