Burgo Harley

Notes

In 1180 Warner de Williley was lord of Willey; he was deputy-sheriff of Shropshire in 1199 but was dead in 1231 ; his wife was Petronilla, daughter and heiress of Robert Fitz-Odo of Kenley, and she was living in 1240. Nicholas, son and heir of Warner, was a knight in 1231, but was deceased in 1255; he married Burga, daughter of Ralph de Pitchford, who survived him. They had a son Andrew de Williley, a knight, who was slain at the battle of Evesham in 1265. Sir Andrew had an only daughter and heiress, Burga de Williley. Burga was twice married, first to Philip de Stapleton, who died without issue in 1283, and secondly to Sir Richard de Harley, of Harley, knight. By this marriage the manors of Willey and Kenley came to the Harleys. Burga de Harley was living in 1331.
