He commanded a company of perhaps the first archers (Welsh) to be used in the Norman wars, and was later a travelling judge with County «b»Geoffrey Plantagenet«/b» in Normandy, representing «b»King Henry II«/b». «b»Sir William, Chief Justice«/b», protected the estates and interests of his half-brother, «b»Robert de Vernon«/b», whose two sons, «b»Richard«/b» and «b»Robert«/b», were banished for taking the wrong sides in the English-Norman wars. He also arranged the marriage of «b»Robert«/b»'s daughter to his own son, «b»Richard«/b».
