William of Kyme (nobleman)
William of Kyme († before November 1259 ) was an English nobleman.
William of Kyme came from the Kyme family , a noble family with extensive holdings in Lincolnshire and other parts of England. He was the second son of Philip of Kyme , but after the death of his older brother Simon , he inherited the family estates in 1248. However, his legacy was burdened with significant debt. Before 1251 he owed Jewish moneylenders 320 marks , and in 1259 he had to cede the Baumber estate to John of Swaneborn for seven years . He owed another £ 95 to Guy de Lusignan , one of King Henry III's half-brothers . Despite his debts, Kyme made donations to the monasteries of Nun Appleton , Louth Park , Bullington and possibly other churches. He had married Lucy de Ros , with her he had a son:
- Philip Kyme, 1st Baron Kyme († 1323)
After his death, in November 1259, the king handed over the custody of his minor son and heir and the administration of the estate to Justiciar Hugh Bigod on payment of £ 3,000 .
