Biography
William Marshall (aka William Marshal) was born in 1214 in Hingham, Norfolk, England, to Sir. John Marshal, knight, and his wife Lady Aline de Rye (aka Rie), daughter and heiress of Hubert IV, Lord of the Barony of Rye (aka Ryes, near Bayeux, Normandy, France).
William Marshall served King and country in both military and civil service. He was named Deputy Marshal of Ireland by Henry III and in 1242 was given full title to his lands. In 1260 he served in Wales combating the semi-autonomous Princes of that land. In 1263, he was a commissioner looking into offences against the Provisions of Oxford. In the Barons' War of the 1260s he sided with Simon de Montfort, and was one of the Barons' representatives at the Mise of Amiens; he was taken prisoner at Northampton, and released after the battle of Lewes. Finally he was killed in August 1265 during or from wounds suffered in the Battle of Evesham, Gloucestershire, England. [1]
He married first, Lady Pernel Ortiay (Urtiaco), daughter of Sir Henry d'Ortie (Urtiaco) but they had no children. In 1256 he married Lady Elizabeth (de) Ferrers, a teenager and daughter of the Earl of Derby by his second wife. Their son John Marshall was born in 1257. They are said to have had another son, William Marshall, but he died as a child or without issue as no record of his family has been found.[2]

Any more than Ancestry or Geni trees would be... rootsweb discussions can sometimes be much more informative and contain high-quality analysis and pointers to primary sources. These links source nothing.
