William was in possession of Kildale in 1196. He married Agnes de Flamville, and with her he was party to a fine in 1202 concerning land in Hammerton. He was dead the next year because Agnes recovered dower from his tenants in Battersby.

William de Percy, son and heir of Robert, and also heir of Ernald II, his uncle, was under age 1170. He confirmed to the cannons of Guisborough for the health of the sould of Agnes de Flamvill his wife, the gift made to them by Robert de Brus of the fee of Ernulf de Percy, grantor's grandfather. He also quit-cliamed his right in the church of Crathorn, and confirmed the gift of the church of Ormesby and mill of Caldecotes made by his grandfather and uncle. In 1202, he obtained from Jeta de Arches an acknowledgment of his right and that of his wife in the town of Hammerton, except the service of Alan son of Ellis. Apparently Roger de Flavill, father of Agnes, had been enfeoffed of land here by William de Arches. William de Percy died before Michaelmas, 1204, when Agnes de Percy was demanding against William de Tarmeton and Ellen his wife dower in 10 bovates and 40 acres of land in Crathorn of the gift of William de Percy, formerly her husband.
