William of Mortain, Count of Mortain, 3rd Earl of Cornwall (bef. 1084–aft. 1140) . LifeWilliam was the son of Robert, Count of Mortain, the half-brother of William I of England[1] and Maud de Montgomery, daughter of Roger de Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Mabel de Bellême.[2] William was born before 1084.[3] From childhood, he harboured a bitter dislike for his cousin Henry I of England,[4] and proudly demanded from him not only his father's earldoms of Mortain and Cornwall, but his uncle Odo, Bishop of Bayeux's Earldom of Kent. Clues to the character of William are to be found in the Hyde Chronicle, calling him "incorrigibly turbulent" and in William of Malmesbury's depiction of William as having "shameless arrogance."[5] The king kept putting off William's demands for the earldom of Kent and instead offered him the hand of Mary of Scotland, Queen Matilda's sister, which William promptly rejected.[5] Henry in turn gave her in marriage to Eustace III, Count of Boulogne. Henry continued to stall William's demands until he had dealt with the Montgomerys, William's uncles, and exiled them from England.[5] Henry then removed lands in Cornwall from William he had allegedly misappropriated, after which William angrily left for Normandy joining forces with Robert Curthose.[5] In Normandy William attacked several of Henry's holdings giving the king ample reasons to strip William of all his English honours.[6] He was captured with Duke Robert at the Battle of Tinchebrai (1106) and stripped of Mortain. William was imprisoned for many years, in the Tower of London and in 1140 became a Cluniac monk at Bermondsey Abbey.[7] Notes1. ^Detlev Schwennicke, Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten, Neue Folge, Band III Teilband 4 (Marburg, Germany: Verlag von J.

They had all been dispossessed of their English holdings and exiled from England shortly after Henry became king. See: J. F. A.
