Nb. Presumed son, though probably not the eldest. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1131. In the civil war, he sided with the Empress Maud, and in 1138 Dunster Castle was beseiged by Stephen, who, however, found it too strong to take.
The Empress created William an Earl, April-June 1141. He attested a charter of the Empress at Midsummer 1141 as Earl William de Mohun, and styled himself, ca 1142, Earl of Somerset in his charter to Bruton Priory, which he founded.
