 Urse built a castle in the town of Worcester , which encroached on the cathedral cemetery there , earning him a curse from the Archbishop of York . Urse helped to put down a rebellion against King William I in 1075 , and quarrelled with the Church in his county over the jurisdiction of the sheriffs . He continued in the service of William 's sons after the king 's death , and was appointed constable under William II and marshal under Henry . Urse was known for his acquisitiveness , and during William II 's reign was considered second only to Ranulf Flambard , another royal official , in his rapacity . Urse 's son succeeded him as sheriff but was subsequently exiled , thus forfeiting the office . Through his daughter , Urse is an ancestor of the Beauchamp family , who eventually became Earls of Warwick .
