His title was Lord of Aldingham.

About his holdings:

Muchland derives its name from Micheal's Land after Michael le Fleming (great grandfather) who was granted the lands by Henry I sometime between 1107 and 1111. These lands lay eastwards of Abbey Beck and southwards of the moors of Birkrigg and Swarthmoor and stretched right down to the southern-most tip of the peninsula at Rampside.[1] At that time the southern limit of the manor was Walney Channel, but it was later moved inland to follow the line of Sarah Beck or Roosebeck. This land became the new manor of Aldingham

By the early 13th century the wealth and importance of the [Aldingham] manor had increased significantly and the Lord of the manor was granted the right to hold his own courts Leet and Baron. The manor of Bardsea was also added to the le Fleming estate. Around this time the seat of the manor of Muchland was moved from the motte at Aldingham to a nearby moated site [OL6 279700], probably due to the advance of the sea and the erosion of the hill on which the motte stands.

Michael left a son William, four of whose children are named-two sons who died without issue and two daughters. One son, Michael, was drowned while crossing the Leven Sands, from Cartmel Priory to Aldingham, on 21 March 1268-9. [From the continuation of William of Newburgh in Chron. of Stephen. &c. Rolls Ser. ii, 555. The reference is due to the late Dr. T. K. Fell. Michael had been dining with the prior and had drunk too much; his attendants escaped with difficulty, and his body was never found.]

Another son, William, who may have been the contemporary William de Furness who was rector of Aldingham. The daughters were Aline, who married Richard de Cansfield, and Margery, who married Henry de Clifton. [The outline of the descent may be traced by two pleadings respecting Thurnham in 1279 and 1292, as follows: Michael -s. William -s. Michael s.p. -bro. William s.p. -sister Aline de Cansfield, who had sons; De Banco R. 30, m. 14 d.; 96, m. 305 d.]
