William FitzGeoffrey de Mandeville (died 1227) was the third
Standard (flag). Later, upon the arrival of Louis VIII of France, the castle was captured on 20 December 1216. He must have reconciled with the royal government of Henry III because by 1220 he complained to the royal administration that his market rights in the town of Moretonhampstead were being infringed upon by Hugh de Chaggeford who was the lord of Chagford which held its own market.[2] In the following court case William's lawyer argued Hugh's market was not a real market but simply a wake where bread and ale were sold but Hugh claimed that his market had been in existence and involved the collection of toll and stallage for one hundred years.[2] The outcome of the case is unknown but there isn't any indication that de Chagford's event was disbanded.[2] He was married to Christina, one of Robert FitzWalter
's daughters, but died on 8 January 1227, without heirs and the earldom became extinct.
