William de Cantilupe (died 25 September 1254) (anciently Cantelow, Cantelou, 
Canteloupe, etc, Latinised to de Cantilupo) [2] was jure uxoris Lord of Abergavenny, in 
right of his wife Eva de Braose, heiress of the de Braose dynasty of Welsh Marcher 
Lords. His chief residences were at Calne in Wiltshire and Aston Cantlow (named after 
his family), in Warwickshire, until he inherited Abergavenny Castle and the other 
estates of that lordship.

He was the eldest son and heir of William de Cantilupe (died 1251) by his wife 
Millicent de Gournay. His younger brother was Thomas de Cantilupe, Bishop of 
Hereford and Chancellor of England.

At some time before 15 February 1248 he married Eva de Braose, daughter and 
heiress of William de Braose (died 1230) by his wife Eva Marshal, daughter of William 
Marshall, 1st Earl of Pembroke. By his wife he had children including:
George de Cantilupe (died 1273), Lord of Abergavenny, only son and heir, who died 
childless, leaving his sisters or their issue as his co-heiresses.
Milicent de Cantilupe (died 1299[3]), who married twice, firstly to Eudo la Zouche and 
secondly to John de Montalt[4][3]
Joan de Cantilupe (died 1271), who married Henry de Hastings (c. 1235 – 1269).[5]

He died "in the flower of his youth"[6] in 1254. Simon de Montfort, a close friend of 
the family, was one of the chief mourners at his funeral.[7]
