Hamilton, William (d. 1307), dean of York and administrator. He became Royal Chancellor in 1305. He had previously served the king as vice chancellor to Robert Burnell amongst other offices.

From 1285 he was himself engaged in moneylending enterprises (sometimes with his brother Adam), manipulating conveyances of land and realizing considerable profits.' If this was the house licenced then it would have already been defendable but further work to make this a strong house could have occurred.
