27.   [FZWN441] Guarine [Warin] from Metz in Loraine became Sheriff of Shropshire (1083), responsible for defending the Welsh Marches. He married [PEVE362] Mallet or Malette of Whittington (niece of Pain Peverel, Lord of Whittington, Salop, see PEVEREL). He was then referred to as Guarine II de Meer.

26.  [FZWN451] Fulk I FitzWarin, of Whittington and Alveston, became Lieutenant of the Marches (1122). He unsuccessfully claimed Whittington Castle. Fulk died 1170-71.

25.  [FZWN461] Sir Fulk II was tutored in the art of chivalry by [DIN2381] Sir Josce de Dinan, who had been installed by King Stephen at Ludlow Castle c.1139. Afterwards Fulk assisted Sir Josce in his fight to retain possession of Ludlow Castle against "a Lacy of Ewyas" ([LACY451] Gilbert de Lacy). (The castle later reverted to the Lacy family.) Fulk married (1178) Sir Josce's daughter & coheir, [DIN2392] Hawise (see DINAN). Fulk was himself Knighted at Winchester (c.1190). He successfully claimed Whittington Castle, but died (6th November 1194) before taking up residence. Hawise died 1218.

24.  [FZWN471] Fulk III of Whittington (son of Fulk II) married 1. (1207) [VAVA479] Maud (see VAVASOUR). (Maud had previously married 1. [BOTI471] Lord Theobald Walter, see VERDUN). Fulk took possession of Whittington Castle (1204), which had been in dispute for three generations.
