Fulk Paynel (d. c. 1182)
Fulk Paynel (sometimes Fulk Paganel[1] or Fulk Painell;[2] died c. 1182) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and landowner.
Background
Fulk Paynel was the son of William Paynel and his wife, a daughter of William fitzWimund. Fulk had three full brothers, including Hugh Paynel, and a half-sister.[3][a]
Career
William Paynel died between 1145 and 1147 and at first his lands were given to his sons-in-law.
Fulk Paynel was not very involved in English affairs but was active in Norman government. He attested over thirty charters of King Henry II of England when Henry was in Normandy. In 1166 Fulk took part in Henry's campaigns in Brittany. The king made Paynel one of the guarantors of an agreement between the king and the count of Maurienne in 1173. Paynel was placed in charge of Alençon and La Roche-Mabille in 1180.[3] Paynel never held a royal or governmental office, but his frequent attestation of charters shows that he was prominent in the royal service.[2]
Legacy
Paynel endowed
Paynel married Lescelina de Suligny, daughter of Hasculf de Suligny. They had five sons, William, Fulk, Hasculf, John, and William. [1] Paynel died around 1182 or 1183, and his heir was his eldest son William.[3]
