Biography

Birth and Parents

William was the son of John Mallory and his first wife Margaret Thwaites.^[1][2] He was said to be 30 in 1528, according to the Inquisition Post Mortem for his father held on 20 October 1528, pointing to a birth year of about 1498. He was his father's main heir.^[3][4][5] He was probably born in Yorkshire, where his father had lands.

Marriage and Children

William married Jane Norton, daughter of John Norton^[1][2] and Margaret Warde.^[3][4] They had ten children:

• Christopher^[1][2][3][4]
• William^[1][2][3][4]

Life

In May 1537 William (referred to as "Sir" William) was among those commissioned to inquire into treasonous activities in Yorkshire.^[6]

Official records of the reign of Henry VIII show him involved in 1538^[7] and 1542^[8] in interrogating suspect persons.

Lands

William inherited Studley Manor and Hutton Conyers, Yorkshire from his father.^[5] His Inquisition Post Mortem recorded lands in Yorkshire at Studley Magna, Ripon, Hutton Conyers, Brompton, Linton in Craven and Nunwick.^[5]

Death

William died on 27 April 1547,^[4] quite likely in Yorkshire where his lands were. His Inquisition Post Mortem was held on 24 September 1547, and named his heir as his son Christopher, aged 22 and more.^[5]

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta project by Michael Cayley on 31 Mach 2022.

William Mallory is in badged trails (reviewed/approved by the Magna Carta Project) from the Batte Gateway Ancestors (Henry and Thomas) and the Mallory Gateways (Roger and Thomas) to Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy, Robert de Vere, William d'Aubigny, Robert de Ros and Robert FitzWalter. This profile also appears in a second Richardson-documented trail from the Batte and Mallory Gateways to Saher de Quincy (vol. III, pages 114-123 MALLORY) that was badged by the project in October 2022. All these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Henry Batte's profile and in the Magna Carta Trails section of Roger Mallory's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
