"William de Maldebeng (Malbank), of Nantwich, cousin of Hugh Lupus, became Baron of Nantwich and the third most powerful baron in Hugh Lupus' Parliament. William built a castle of great strength at Nantwich. It is mentioned in Domesday that he possessed no fewer than forty-seven manors or townships. His son, who founded Combermere Abbey, gave one-fourth of Nantwich as an endowment; but there was no male issue of the third Baron, the remainder became much divided between his daughters thus passing into the greatest of the families of England."
Source Par Joseph Hemingway:
"William De Maldebeng, Wich-Malbank, or Nantwich, was a relative to Hugh Lupus, and the first baron of Nantwich; he fixed his seat in that town, where he built a castle. Hugh the second baron, gave a fourth part of the whole barony to the abbey of Combermere, which he founded. William the third baron, died in the reign of Edward I. without male issue, leaving three daughters, Philippa, Auda, and Eleanor, between whom the barony was divided. ..."
