- According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de
Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the
Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is
subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital,
and all the historians of this epoch. Successor to his father, he was
among the greatest land owners in England. He held over 221 manors in
Suffolk alone. He was Lord Chamberlain under King Henry I., and Lord
of Eye in Suffolk (1086). He lost his life and fortune at the Battle
of Tinchebrai, where he espoused the cause of Duke Robert. As a
consequence of this action c. 1105 he was banished and disinherited.
