Abstract:		 The history of the Dunstanville family at the turn of the 13th century provides a Sussex case study of two issues that underlay baronial discontent and the concession of Magna Carta: the guardianship of an heir and the treatment of widows. It also raises broader questions about the restrictions faced by women of the Anglo-Norman elite. Under King John there was a fierce bidding war for custody of the Dunstanville lands, which was won by the Basset family, cousins of the Dunstanvilles, who administered the lands until the heir came of age. The dower rights of the widow, Sibyl de Dunstanville, were an obligation on the family’s lands that did not cease when the heir came of age. Her marriage to the king’s favourite, Engelram of Préaux, ensured that those rights were energetically enforced for a further twenty years.
