This memorial is dedicated to my ancestor Fulk Fitzwarin.
He was also called Fulke or Fouke FitzWaryn or FitzWarren.
Fulk a medieval landed gentleman turned outlaw, from Whittington Castle in the English county of Shropshire. The traditional story of his life survives in a French prose "ancestral romance", extant in a miscellaneous manuscript containing English, French and Latin texts, which is based on a lost verse romance. A 16th century summary of a Middle English version has also been preserved.
According to the tale, as a young boy, Fulk was sent to the court of King Henry II, where he grew up with the future King John. John became his enemy after a childhood quarrel. As an adult, Fulk was stripped of his family's holdings, and took to the woods as an outlaw. His wife was Maud le Vavasour. The story may combine aspects of the lives of two Fulk Fitzwarins, father and son, who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Fulk's parents were Fulk"Brunin" FitzWarin and Hawise de Dinan.
The tale of Fulk Fitzwarin has been noted for its parallels to the Robin Hood legend. It is also similar to that of other medieval outlaws such as Eustace the Monk and Hereward the Wake.
Another legend of Fulk Fitzwarin, the great grandson of Payne Peveril and one in the line of guardians of the Grail and King Arthur. A story from the 13th century states that the Grail was kept in a private chapel of the castle when Sir Foulke was there. The coat of arms of Fulk FitzWarin is hung above the castle archway.
Between the years 1221 and 1226 Fulk founded Alberbuty Priory, which he granted to the Augustinian canons of Lilleshall but later transferred it to the Order of Grandmont. In 1252 he made his will which stated his wish to be buried at his foundation of Alberbury Priory.
