Enquiry about input on William de Wendeval page?

Hello Jimd

I am new this week to Wikipedia and have viewed the history and wondered if I could ask if you put the original information on the page for the following person, specifically the following quoted information?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Wendenal

There is one contemporary account, a Middle Ages legal document, which states William served as the High Sheriff (or law-enforcer and bailiff) of the counties of both Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire during the years of King Richard's absence from the country, and perhaps other areas of England also, such as Yorkshire (sheriffs were known to go outside their areas of jurisdiction frequently in order to capture fugitive criminals and bandits). This would have made him one of the most important and influential officials during these years.

It is stated in this legal document that William took over these official duties in 1190 from Baron Roger de Lizoures (later Roger de Lacy, due to his grandmother denying him the claim to the Lizoures titles and estates) who we know was also the Constable of Chester and Lord of Pontefract and Clitheroe. It is possible that William took over this duty too whilst de Lacy (and the majority of English noblemen) were attending the Crusade

If you did put this information on could I enquire what the source is for your 'contemporary account' and 'legal document'? I am interested in confirming that Roger de Lizoures was Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Regards

Hebden.
