Sir William de Paris was a Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire and soldier of the Wars of Scottish Independence.
William served in Edward I's invasion of Scotland of 1303 and a year later was rewarded for his service with a pardon for the murder of William de Haceby. [3]
On 8 January 1310 William was accused of being in a gang that hunted deer illegally on Sir Thomas Ludlow's land at Scrivelsby and assaulted his servants. [3] Ludlow retaliated by gathering up a band of men and robbing and maiming William at Morton by Horncastle,Lincolnshire. A warrant for their arrests was issued on 18 March 1310. [3]
On 16 October 1313 William was pardoned for his role in the death of Piers Gaveston. [4]
de Paris was summoned to defend the north against the Scots on 30 June 1314 shortly after the Battle of Bannockburn. [4]
He attended Parliament at Westminster as a Knight of the Shire for Lincolnshire on 25 January 1315. [4]
In 1320 William was accused of breaking the parks,with others,of Humphrey de Waleden at Stanford Rivers,Essex. [3]
In 1321 discontent was once more brewing among the barons and William attended the meeting in Westminster known as the "Parliament of White Bands" [4] in which the lords defied the king by wearing martial dress and ignoring the king. This culminated in the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322 at which William de Paris fought on the king's side. [4]
He attended Parliament at York as a Knight of the Shire for Lincolnshire on 14 November 1322 but by 1324 was "so ill that his life was despaired of" and did not attend again. [4]
In 1326 the corrupt and unpopular judge Roger Beler was murdered by Eustace Folville and his Gang. On 1 March 1326 a warrant for the arrest of the gang was issued to William de Paris and others. [3] The only member of the gang to ever be punished was Eustace's brother the Rev. Richard Folville,Vicar of Teigh.
In April 1327 de Paris sued John Marmion,4th Baron Marmion of Winteringham for the wardship of William,the underage son and heir of the late Leicestershire MP and knight Sir William Marmion (a leading candidate to be the Knight of Norham Castle fame) and his land at Keisby,Lincs. [5] William Marmion is not known to have been a tenant of de Paris so the legitimacy of this claim is dubious. [lower-alpha 1]
During William De Paris' life he was described as being of Morton by Horncastle but his family also held land at Great Humby and Old Somerby.
Scrivelsby is a village and ecclesiastical parish in the East Lindsey district of the County of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Horncastle and is on the B1183 road 1 mile (1.6 km) east from the A153 road. It is administered by the civil parish of Mareham on the Hill.

Richard Folville was a member of the infamous Folville Gang captained by his older brother Eustace.
Eustace Folville was an English criminal and outlaw who is credited with assassinating the unpopular Sir Roger de Beler, Baron of the Exchequer and henchman of the despised Hugh le Despencer and King Edward II. He was the most active member of the Folville Gang, which engaged in acts of vigilantism and outlawry in Leicestershire in the early 1300s, often on the behalf of others.
The Folville gang was an armed band of criminals and outlaws active in the English county of Leicestershire in the early 14th century, led by Eustace Folville.
The invasion of England in 1326 by the country's queen, Isabella of France, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, led to the capture and executions of Hugh Despenser the Younger and Hugh Despenser the Elder and the abdication of Isabella's husband, King Edward II. It brought an end to the insurrection and civil war.
The Despenser War (1321–22) was a baronial revolt against Edward II of England led by the Marcher Lords Roger Mortimer and Humphrey de Bohun. The rebellion was fuelled by opposition to Hugh Despenser the Younger, the royal favourite. After the rebels' summer campaign of 1321, Edward was able to take advantage of a temporary peace to rally more support and a successful winter campaign in southern Wales, culminating in royal victory at the Battle of Boroughbridge in the north of England in March 1322. Edward's response to victory was his increasingly harsh rule until his fall from power in 1326.
