biographical and/or anecdotal:
*William Fitz Alan,
in the contest between King Stephen and the Empress Maud, being then
Governor of Shrewsbury and Sheriff of the county of Salop, held the castle at Shrewsbury
for the latter, until it was taken by assault. He was also with the Empress at the
siege of Winchester Castle, in the 6th year of Stephen, when she and her whole army
were put to flight; afterwards, continuing to adhere stoutly to the same cause, he
was reconstituted Sheriff of Salop, when King Henry attained the crown.
