Knight of Uley, Aylburton, Kings Weston, Rockhampton, Stoke Gifford, Gloucester. Of Kingston Seymour, Somerset and Milton, Wiltshire. Custodian of Prudhoe Castle, Constable of Gloucester and Bristol Castles, Steward of the Duchy of Aquitane.
Younger son of and heir to Sir Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd Lord Berkeley and Eve la Zouche. Grandson of Sir Thomas de Berkeley and Joan de Ferrers, Eudes de la Zouche and Milicent de Cantelowe. Great grandfather of Sir Maurice de Berkeley.
Husband of Margery de Vere, thought to be the daughter of Alphonse de Vere and Joan Foliot. They were married with papal dispensation dated 27 Dec 1331 as they were related in the 4th degree. They had three sons and one daughter; Sir Thomas, Maurice, Sir Edward, and Isabel.
Maurice's father was part of the rebellion against King Edward II and the Despensers, and all the lands were seized by Edward. Maurice and his older brother, Thomas, pillaged Despenser property, and finally had restitution of his lands after the fall of the Despensers. In 1330, King Edward III retained Maurice for life "to attend to him always." In the same year, Maurice purchased the manors of Aylburton in Lydney and King's Weston in Bristol from Sir Thomas ap Adam. In 1337, the king granted Maurice the manors of Sherrington, Wiltshire and Brimpsfeild, Gloucestershire, both of which had previously belonged to his brother-in-law, John Maultravers.
Maurice served King Edward in France, and was made a banneret, and fought at the Battle of Crecy. Maurice was slain at the Siege of Calais. Margery died 21 May 1351.
His memory is commemorated in the great east window of Gloucester Cathedral in the display of shields of the knights who fought in the Crecy and Calais campaigns of 1346 and 1347.
