Of this Guarine it is recorded that, having heard that William,
a valiant knight, sister's son to Pain Peverell, Lord of Whittington, in Shropshire,
had two daughters, one of whom Mallet,
had resolved to marry none but a knight of great prowess;
and that her father had appointed a meeting of noble young men
at Peverel's Place, on the Peke, from which she was to select
the most gallant, he came thither.
When entering the lists with a son of the King of Scotland,
and with a Baron of Burgundy, he vanquished them both,
and won the fair prize, with the Lordship and Castle of Whittington.
At this place he subsequently took up his abode
and founded the Abbey of Adderbury.
