context_page_description: William de Botreaux, 3rd Baron Botreaux was a prominent baron in Somerset and the south-west of England. He inherited from his father the barony by writ of Botreaux as well as substantial family landholdings which included a moiety of the feudal barony of North Cadbury, Somerset, in the parish church of which capital manor he was buried, as he requested in his will.
context_section_description: By his first wife Elizabeth Beaumont he had the following children:
  William, who died an infant before 1434  and was buried at North Cadbury and after transferred to the Minorite Church at Bridgwater.
  Reginald, died young 1420, the date incised on his tomb stone in Aller Church, Somerset. Aller was one of the family's many manors. The tombstone is now affixed upright to the north wall of the chancel but was formerly set into the floor. It is well preserved for its age and displays within an heraldic escutcheon the griffin rampant of Botreaux impaled with the lion rampant on a field semee-de-lys of Beaumont, the marshalled arms of Reginald's parents. On a ledger line around the border of the slab is inscribed the following text in gothic script:
  hic jacet Roginaldus filius William dom de Botreaux qui obiit xxx die julii anno dom mccccxx ("here lies Reginald son of William Lord of Botreaux who died the 30th day of July 1420")
  Anne, married in 1426 Sir John Stafford. She did not survive her father and died without issue.
  Margaret, his sole heiress, suo jure 4th Baroness Botreaux (d. 1478), married Robert Hungerford, 2nd Baron Hungerford (d. 1459). She was buried  in Salisbury Cathedral in a now demolished tomb within a chantry chapel she founded there. The tomb and effigy of her husband in Salisbury Cathedral still exists.
