William de Bardelby

He was probably a cousin of William de Bardelby, who was Keeper of the Great Seal of the Realm in the reign of King Edward II.

William de Bardelby was vicar of Coberley in Gloucestershire in 1316; he then moved to Ireland where he was presented to the living of Garristown, in north County Dublin, in 1318.

In 1320 Nicholas Babau acknowledged that William and Richard le Brun, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, had the right to a crop of wheat from his lands in Balygoray (possibly Ballygorey, County Kilkenny).

In 1321 Roger de Sutton, a Royal clerk, who was journeying to England, appointed Bardelby his attorney to act for him in Ireland.

Shortly before his death, he made a grant of land at Borryn (unidentified) to Master Giles le Engles.
