- Notes: In the Complete Peerage under Wyndesore (of Cumberland): William De Wyndesore, son and heir of Alexander (d. 1342/3) and his wife, Elizabeth (d. 1349, during the Black Death), born 1322-28, a minor in 1342/3 but of age by 1349, became Lord Wyndesore (1383/4), married (c. 1376) Alice Ferrers, the notorious court beauty and mistress of Edward III. William was King's Lieutenant in Ireland 1368-1371/2 and again 1373-1376, and is remembered as the true founder of the Irish Parliament. He held Dungarvan and Black Castle (c.1367) in Ireland. In 1376 he was allowed to buy goods in Ireland to provision his castles in Wales and in Mar 1376/77, he was among those lord with lands in Wales who was warned of a possible Welsh attack. The precise connection between the Wyndesores of Cumberland and the Windsors of Stanwell has not been ascertained, though doubtless one exists. It has been suggested that Alexander, the founder of the Cumberland family who held lands in Compton, Surrey, was a younger son of William De Windsor, constable of Windsor Castle, son and heir of Walter fitz Other, who held Compton, Surrey, at the time of the Survey (Doomsday Book) and whose descendants were overlords there until 1541.
