Sir William Skipwith, the second son, succeeded his elder brother in the estate a few months after his father died. Sir William was bred to the bar and attained great eminence. He was first chosen one of the king's serjeants, and in the 33rd of Edward III constituted one of the judges of the King's Bench. In three years afterwards, he was sworn in lord chief baron of the Exchequer, and he continued in that high judicial station until the 40th year of the same king, the time of his decease. His lordship married Alice, only daughter and heir of Sir William de Hiltoft, Lord of Ingoldmells, by Alice, his wife, sister and sole heir of Ralph de Muer, Lord of Calthorp and Covenham, in the county of Lincoln, and had issue, William, John, Patrick, Stephen, Alice, and Margaret.
