ZOUCHE or ZOUCH, WILLIAM la or de la (d. 1352), archbishop of York, seems from his close connections with Northamptonshire to have belonged to the Harringworth branch of the Zouche family, and he is generally said to have been a younger son of William la Zouche, first Baron Zouche (1276?–1352) of Harringworth (Raine, Fasti Eboracenses, p. 437); he alludes to his parents as alive in 1349. He graduated M.A. and B.C.L. at some university (Cal. Papal Letters, ii. 520). At the beginning of Edward III's reign he appears as one of the king's clerks or chaplains (Fœdera, iii. 210). Perhaps he was the William la Zouche who, with other clerks, was accused before January 1328 of breaking into the house and stealing the sheep of the prior of Charley, Leicestershire (Cal. Pat.

On 16 Sept. 1330 he was appointed clerk and purveyor of the great wardrobe (ib. 1330–4, p. 5). A little later he is called keeper of the wardrobe (ib. p. 53). His successor in that office was appointed on 15 July 1334 (ib. p. 569). In 1335 he was keeper of the privy seal (Cal. Papal Letters, ii. 524). On 24 March 1337 he was appointed treasurer of the exchequer during pleasure (ib. 1334–1338, p. 409), and on 21 Aug. of the same year was joined with William la Zouche of Harringworth, possibly his father, to lay before the shires of Northampton and Rut-
