(13 Edward I) Ralph Fitzwilliam made a fine with John Yeland for the distribution of the moieties of that inheritance among his wife's sisters, the coheirs, making a gift of premises there and in Hertfordshire and Essex also to Yeland. He fought against the Welsh again (on his own account) in 1282 and in 1287, and received a royal gift of four deer from the Forest of Galtres in 1283. Succession William de Graystok, having been granted a market in Morpeth and free warren in Crosthwayt in Teesdale in 1285, died in 1288 and was succeeded by his son John de Graystock, "vir strenuus et corpulentus". In 1291 Ralph FitzWilliam was first summoned to serve against the Scots. In 1293–94 he and John de Greystock were the principal tenants affected when the King granted the manor of Pocklington to the abbot and convent of Meaux, Yorkshire, reserving wardship of various tenancies, in exchange for land at Wyk on Humber intended for the development of Kingston upon Hull.

Gilbert was holding other tenements from his brother Ralph, then aged 40, who was declared to be Gilbert's nearest heir, and did homage for Gilbert's lands and entered upon them. The Greystok barony In August 1297 John obtained licence to enfeoff Ralph FitzWilliam (then going abroad on the King's service) with the manor and whole Barony of Greystok, and with other manors and advowsons including his part of Morpeth. These were conveyed in fee simple, upon condition that Ralph should found a college in the church at Greystoke in Cumberland.
