Pantulf was the son of Robert Pantulf, who was lord of Wem.[1] He was probably born around 1114.[2]
Pantulf is the witness on a document from Nicholas de Stafford to Kenilworth Priory in October 1130.[3] He was a witness on a royal charter in 1137 or 1138.[2]
Pantulf became lord of Wem on his father's death, which occurred sometime before 1137 or 1138.[1] His holding of the lordship of Wem is considered to have made him the third Baron of Wem.[4]
Pantulf gave lands to Shrewsbury Abbey between 1141 and 1155.[3] He also gave lands to Combermere Abbey in the same period.[2] He witnessed a few more charters between 1152 and 1160. Late in his life he gave land to Haughmond Abbey.[3]
Pantulf married twice. From his first marriage, he had three sons – Hugh, Hamelin, and Brice. The second marriage was to Alicia de Verdun,[1] either the daughter of Bertram II de Verdun and sister of Norman de Verdun of Alton Castle[5] or the daughter of Norman de Verdun. He had two more sons – William and Norman – from his second marriage.[1]
Pantulf died in 1175. His lands at Wem and its lordship went to his son Hugh.[1]
