- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 188 p 29-30, Appendices F1, F2, F3:
WILLIAM MALET OF ENMORE
William Malet, the son of William Malet and his wife Sara de Sully, succeeded his father probably about A.D. 1252. His wife's name was Maria, but her surname is unknown. The deed, a portion of which is transcribed (below)* is presumably the first in which his name is mentioned. In the year 1253 he sat as one of the arbitrators in a dispute between the Prior of Bruton and William de la Cumba concerning a right of way.** There is another deed of the year 1264,*** by which William Malet makes over to the Abbot of Glastonbury certain lands. There are other deeds of this period, not of sufficient interest to warrant transcription, and some by which we learn that, besides Baldwin his son and heir, he had another son, named Raymund, to whom, and to his wife Melicent, his mother Maria gave property in Heathcombe, and Anastasia the daughter of William le Bret gave lands in Stawel and Cadecote; Robert Thurlebeare also gave him land in Cadecote. There is also an entry in Sir Wm. Pole's MSS., "Raymundus Malet Isoldis Uxor," dated 52 henry III, A.D. 1268; so that I conclude he married twice. I find also Raymund's name as a witness in a deed of the 16 Edward I, A.D. 1288, and Baldwin Malet gives land in Bradwyke to Raymund Malet and Joane his wife I Edward II A.d. 1307; whether this is the same Raymund and a third wife, or another person, there is nothing extant to determine.
