William Kyme, 2nd Baron Kyme
William Kyme, 2nd Baron Kyme (* around 1283, † before March 25, 1338 ) was an English nobleman.
William Kyme came from the Kyme family , a noble family from Lincolnshire . He was the eldest son of Philip Kyme, 1st Baron Kyme and his wife Joan Bigod . Like his father, he was a loyal supporter of King Edward II. From 1315 onwards, he took part in several campaigns by Edward II against Scotland. In 1322 he was part of the royal army that defeated the rebels under Thomas of Lancaster in the battle of Boroughbridge . During the Saintonge War he served in the English army in Gascony . In 1326, the king commissioned him to support the Arundel in raising contingents in Lincolnshire in the event of an enemy landing .
After his father's death before 1323, he inherited his possessions, including the small barony of Sotby in Lincolnshire. As early as 1320 he had taken on his first local offices, from 1323 until 1335 or 1336 he was invited to the parliaments as Baron Kyme .
Kyme had married Joan , a daughter of Humphrey Littlebury . The marriage remained childless, so that on his death his nephew Gilbert de Umfraville, 9th Earl of Angus , the son of his sister Lucy Kyme became his heir. His widow married Nicholas Cantilupe, 3rd Baron Cantilupe , in 1342 .
