The family took its rise from Walter de Beauchamp, or Bellocampo, a Norman who had granted to him the estates of Roger de Wygracestra, as also the shrievalty of Worcester, which Urso D'Abitot had held in the time of William I., whose daughter Emeline Walter had married. His son William held the office of Dispensator to the King, and his great- grandson, William de Beauchamp, married Isabel Mauduit, sister and heir of William Mauduit, Earl of Warwick, as we have already seen. From early times we... find the heads of the house figuring in the civil wars. William the first named played an important part in the wars of Stephen, siding with Empress Maud, who granted him the 75 Warwick Castle '♦- city of Worcester, which Stephen had given to Earl Waleran. The Empress added to this a grant of the shrievalty of the county and its forests, which included Malvern Chase, and also restored to him the Castle and Honour of Tameworth,, and the Rutland estates of Bekeford, Weston, and Luffenham, and granted him an annuity of ;^6o per annum.
