William de Moleyns, 2nd and only surviving son. In 1352 he was styled "King's yeoman," and on 28 April of that year had livery of his wife's inheritance.
In October 1355, being styled chivaler, he was setting out for France for a month, and in December though still under age, he went to Scotland in the King's service. In May 1359 he was allowed to have his father's manor s on condition of providing a suitable maintenance for his parents, because his father had demised them to him before his impeachment, and in September he was allowed to conduct his father from Nottingham to Cambridge Castle. In this year he went to France in the retinue of Roger ( de Mortimer), Earl of March. He had livery of his mother's lands in 1367, and in 1369 of the
Mauduit lands; in Nov. 1367 was about, to go beyond seas on the King's service, and made a settlement of his estates. In Feb. 1368/9, staying beyond seas, he nominated attorneys; and in March 1370 was again bound for service abroad. In 1377 he was to serve in Brittany under John of Gaunt, and from August to October in that year was at sea in the King's train, and was under orders for service abroad in August 1373. He was commissioner of array, and ofoyer and terminer, and justice of the peace in Bucks in 1377 and later, and in 1378 was a Knight of the Shire for that county, and in 1379 assessor of taxes.

He married, before 12 March 1352, Margery, then aged 15 1/2, daughter of Sir Edmund BACOUN, of Norfolk, by his 2nd wife, Margery POYNINGS, whose heir she was. He died 14 February 1380/1 . His widow died 1 June 1399.[Complete Peerage IX:39-40, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
