About Sir William Trussell, I

There appears also to have been a mesne lordship held by the Botelers of Oversley. William Trussell in 1242 was holding Billesley of Maurice le Boteler, (fn. 15) and in 1315 William le Boteler held it of the Earl of Warwick. (fn. 16) But in 1285 William Trussell was holding Billesley as a knight's fee from Andrew de Astley as mesne lord between him and the Earl of Warwick, (fn. 17) probably during the minority of the Boteler heir. Half a fee in Billesley was returned in 1428 as formerly held by William Boteler. (fn. 18)
