- Notes: assuming the surname of Saint John, wrote himself 'Willielmus De Sancto Johanne filius et hıres Ad De Port', and in the 15th John [1214-15], gave 500 marks to the King for livery of all the lands of Adam De Port, his father. The two following years he executed the sheriff's office for the co. Southampton, but was subsequently in arms with the other barons against the crown, and did not return to his allegiance until some time after the accession of Henry III. He made his peace, however, effectually, for we find him in the 11th of that King [1227] appointed governor of the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. He m. Godchild, dau. of N. Paganell, and was s. by his son, Robert De St. John.

 | Portchester Castle Portchester Castle is located at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour. Probably founded in the late 11th century, Portchester was a baronial castle taken under royal control in 1154. The monarchy controlled the castle for several centuries and it was a favoured hunting lodge of King John. It was besieged and captured by the French in 1216 before permanently returning to English control shortly thereafter. |
