William de Aldeburgh was mentioned between June 1394 and June 1395. He founded a chantry for masses for his soul in 18 Ricard II.

      Baronia Anglica Concentrata v. 2 p. 38: states: Sir William de Aldeburgh had summons to Parliament from the 44 Edw III to the 10 of Richard II, the following of which he died. His summons appears to from his marriage to Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Robert, Lord Lisle, of Rougemont, who, as his ancestors had been, was repeatedly summoned to the Parliament among the earls and barons of the realm. By this marriage he acquired the manor or barony of Harewood, which had come to the said Robert de Lisle, by descent from the heiress of William de Courcey, theretofore possessor of the same. By Elizabeth de Lisle, he had issue, William, his son and heir; and two daughters viz Elizabeth and Sybil.
William de Aldeburgh, the second, did not long survive his father, but died the 15 Richard II, without issue, or at least without any which survived him; for according to his will, proved in 1391, it seems he had an infant child whose name is not mentioned, but merely cursorily referred to, as well as Margery, or Margaret, his wife, in the words, 'Margeria ma feme mon infans'. This Margery his wife (who was widow of Peter de Maulay, son and heir apparent to Peter the 6 Maulay, and died in his father's life time) was one of the daughters and co-heirs of Sir Thomas Sutton, of Holderness, and outlived her husband Aldeburgh, but died shortly after him; her will being proved in the same year 1391, in which she mentions her son Peter Maulay, her son John Maulay, and her daughters Constance & Elizabeth Maulay; she also mentions Elizabeth Stapleton. She was buried with her last husband in the church of Dominican Friars of York.
Of the sisters and co-heirs of William de Aldeburgh, Elizabeth was aetat 28 and then wife of Bryan Stapleton, the younger. Sibilla, the other sister and co-heir, was aetat 25, and wife of William Ryther.
Elizabeth, after the death of her husband Stapleton, re-married Sir Richard Redman, and had issue by him, as stated in the table of descent, which issue had the Harewood estate, and afterwards divided the same with the Ryther family, which circumstance gives reason to believe that she had not any issue by her first marriage with Stapleton, or otherwise that issue would have succeeded to Harewood; but inasmuch as some heralds have derived the Stapletons of Carlton for the said marriage, that has been inserted in the table to be received 'de bene esse'. Sir William de Aldeburgh was born before 1330 in England. He was the son of Sir Ives Aldeburgh and Mary Unknown (Aldeburgh).
     Sir William de Aldeburgh was mentioned in a deed dated 13 November 1347 in Roxburghshire, Scotland. Edw III confirmed to William, son and heir of Ives de Aldeburgh, lands in Brokesmouth, co. Roxburgh, which Edward Balliol, King of Scotland had given to Ives. Mary, widow of Sir Ives de Aldeburgh, gave to William, her son, lands in Aldeburgh: 22 Edw III. William was termed "vallettus magnifici principis Edwardis de Balliolo, regis Scotie consanguinei nostri carissimi", 22 Jan 1350/51 to 6 September 1352, and miles of the said King 6 August 1353. The arms of Balliol still exist at Harewood Castle after 22 January 1350/51, in Scotland. He gave lands in Aldbrough 26 Edw III to an unknown person in 1351/52 in Yorkshire, England.
Sir William de Aldeburgh married Elizabeth Mowbray? - not de Lisle circa 1356 in England.
Sir William de Aldburgh, for the soul of his lord Edward Baliol, King of Scotland, and for the soul of Elizabeth his wife, and for others his near kinsfolk, did in 1362 grant to the priory of Beauvale the hay of Willey in Sherwood. In the succeeding reign (18 Richard II) a chantry was founded in the conventual church for two of the monks to say mass for the souls of William de Aldburgh and Edward Baliol. The founders of this chantry were Isabel wife of Sir William de Ryther, and Elizabeth wife of Sir Brian Stapleton, who were the sisters of William de Aldburgh; each of them granted 40s. a year out of her respective moiety of the manors of Kirkby Overblow (Yorkshire) (fn. 8) and 'Kereby.' (fn. 9). Sir William de Aldeburgh bore arms: Gules, a lion rampant, argent, on his breast a fleur-de-lis azure. He sealed in 1363 with his arms of a lion rampant, and the same device is seen over the gateway of his Castle of Harewood and his arms in Harewood church: gules, a lion rampant charged with a fleur de lys.
     This family is often confused with the Aldeburghs of Aldeburgh, see Duckett's "Harewood evidences:, Yorks. Arch. Journal, iv, 98.

Sir William Aldeburgh of Aldeburgh, now Aldbrough in Richmondshire (Aldbrough juxta Tees near Stanwick, wapentake of Gilling West) son & heir of Sir Ives A by Mary his wife. He was sometime valettus to Edward Balliol, King of Scotland. In 1364 Sir Robert de l'Isle of Rougemont enfeoffed him & Elizabeth his wife of the manor of Harewood. He was summoned to Parl 8 Jan 1370/1 44 Edw III to 8 Aug 1386 10 Ric II. [Cokayne, Complete peerage. pp 101-2]
     Sir William de Aldeburgh, Baron 1371-1386. Lord of Harewood 1365.
     William de Aldeburgh, 1st Lord Aldeburgh; summoned 8 Jan, 44 Edw III (1371), to 8 Aug 10 Rich II (1386); Lord of the manor of Harewood by his marriage; died 1388; buried in the church of the Dominican Friars of York; married Elizabeth, daughter of John de Insula, 2nd lord, and sister of Robert 3rd Lord Lisle of Rougemont; buried in the church of the Dominican Friars of York.
     He was summoned to parliament 8 Jan 1371 [44 Edw III] to Aug 8 1386. Seized of Harewood manor & castle by feoffment of Robert Lord Lisle his brother in law in 1365. He built or rebuilt the castle. In 1366 he received permission to crenellate his manor at Harewood. Margery his daughter in law in 1391 bequeathed a tapestry with Balliol arms to her son by her first marriage. He was messenger of Edward Balliol 27 Edw III (1354)..
     Sir William de Aldeburgh and Robert de Lisle 3rd Baron were mentioned in a deed dated 1364 in Harewood, Yorkshire. Inquisition whether it would be to the detriment of the King or of others that Robert de l'Isle of Rougemont, kt should enfeoff William de Aldeburgh kt and Elizabeth his wife of 2 parts of the manor of Harewood, which he held in chief: and should concede that the third part of the said manor, which Maud late the wife of John de l'Isle of Rougemont, father of Robert, held in dowry, should remain after Maud's death to Wm & Elizabeth.
Robert de l'Isle paid £70 pre licencia feoffandi the two parts of the manor, 16 June 1634.
Cokayne notes that the remainder was to the heirs of William not Elizabeth.
]Robert was paid 1000 pounds for Harewood by his brother-in-law William Aldburgh in 1365. [Fine 38 Edw III].
Sir William de Aldeburgh was a petitioner William de Aldeburgh requests permission to enclose and improve his land called Swindon, part of the manor of Harewood in Wharfedale, which he holds of the king in chief, and in which the game from the forest of Knaresborough are pastured, and also that he might be able to profit from the white oaks (cheynes blaunkes) there.
Endorsement: Let this petition be sent into Chancery, and there the council of the queen is to be called and let justice be done. Covering dates c. 1366. A note on the guard of the petition says 'c. 1364' but CPR 1361-4, p.51, which is dated at Westminster, 16 June 1364, shows that the manor still belonged to Robert de Insula then. He may have been the father of William's wife, and the enfeoffment was done to allow him to settle it on the couple as part of a marriage settlement or to make a settlement prior to his death. A later patent roll entry, dated at Windsor, 27 December 1366, shows, Harewood was in his possession then, and this is the best approximate date we have for the petition (CPR 1364-7, p.355) in Harewood between 1364 and 1366.
