Can someone assist me with a Pre-1500 Profile? [closed]

Question

I am trying to start a tree for William Case, Esq. c.1450-1498 of Somerset. He was a participant in the War of the Roses supporting the Lancaster side. He fought in the Battle of Bosworth Field and was awarded honors by King Henry VII. There is information one the Case One Name Study Project site. Looking for some help to set up his family of father, brother, wife and children with the hopes of connecting them eventually to the other families that later appear in Lancashire, Berks and Norfolk.

Hi George, William Case sound like an interesting story.

The link gives you some ideas on how you might proceed:

but perhaps you have already seen it.

I would recommend starting off with your own freespace page and document relevant evidence/sources.

There was an IPM for a William Case of Somerset in 10 Henry VII

He held lands in South Petherton, Somerset.

There's a will of William Case, made 1494, in Weaver's Somerset Medieval Wills:

Edit:
As for connecting with "other families that later appear in Lancashire, Berks and Norfolk"

This is all over England. There is no guarantee that William Case in Somerset is related to people with the same surname hundreds of miles away. I am sure this surname originates independently in many different places.
