- William /de Mohun/
Parents.

- d. ABT 1155
- M.1.

Source.Mohun. Complete Peerage. v ix pp 17-25.
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.

Nb. The proof of her identity is the manor of Whichford, co. Warwick, a Gaunt family property, which she received as her maritagium. Agnes and her husband William de Mohun later gave the church at Whichford to Bridlington Priory, which priory was
founded by Agnes' father Walter de Gaunt.

Nb. Second son but first surviving. He comes into notice ca 1142, when he attested his father's charter to Bruton. The Empress Maud's grant of an earldom to his father apparently was not recognized by Stephen, for William is never styled Earl. He
was a benefactor to his father's foundation at Bruton, and confirmed the gifts of his father and grandfather to Bath.
