Warin de Lisle, son and heir was, as a knight, summoned for military service from May 1298 to May 1319. In 1303 he and others were accused of theft and assault in Berks, but in 1308 he was a conservator of the peace in the town and University of Oxford, and in of the same year was made Keeper of Windsor Castle, holding that office till superseded in 1319. In 1315 commissioner of Oyer and terminer in Oxfordshire and Berks. In September 1320 he was accused of inciting to assault and murder and of protecting the assailants at his manors of Kingston and Beedon, Berks. In 1321 he joined with Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, and others against the Despensers, thus allying themselves with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Next year, described as a banneret, he was in arms against the King at Boroughbridge, 16 March 1321/2, and was captured, condemned as a traitor, and executed at Pontefract, dragged by horses and hanged, and was buried in the Black Friars' church there.
He married Alice, sister and heir of Henry, and daughter of Henry Teyes, who was aged 30 and more in 1327. In 1334 his widow obtained leave to transfer his body and that of her brother Henry (also executed and buried in the Carmelites' church in London, to Chilton, Wilts, where her ancestors were buried and where chantries were founded. Though her husband's forfeited estates were given to the Despensers and others, she was allowed maintenance. In Dec 1326 she had a grant of the custody of Kingston and other of her husband's manors, and in March following had a further grant of all the goods of her late husband and her brother Henry. As all proceedings against Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and his adherents were annulled in the Parliament of 1 Edward III, the forfeiture of her brother Henry was presumably reversed and she would, according to modern doctrine, be held to have become Baroness Teys or Tyes. In 1330 she received a general pardon and in 1332 obtained a charter for markets and fairs at Penzance and other manors in Cornwall, and in 1336 a charter for the free warren at Chilton, Kingston Lisle, etc. She died 2 August 1347. [Complete Peerage VIII:48-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)

"I now come (says Dugdale) to Warine de L'Isle, son of Robert, son of Alice, dau. of Henry, a younger son of Warine FitzGerald, as the descent sheweth." Which Warine was in the Scottish wars, temp. Edward I and, in the beginning of Edward II's reign, was constituted governor of Windsor Castle and warden of the forest. For years subsequently he was engaged in Scotland, but joining Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, against the Spencers, 1320-1, and sharing in the discomfiture of his chief, he was taken prisoner and hanged at York with the Lord Mowbray and several others. After which, it was found in A.D. 1327, that he d. seised of the manors of Bouden, Kingston, and Fanflore, in Berks; Mundiford, in Norfolk; and Kistingbury, in Northamptonshire; leaving Gerard, his son, twenty-three years of age, and Alice, his wife, sister and heir of Henry, Baron Teyes surviving.
