William Inge

Common Law Founders and Commentators

Sir William Inge, who lived from around 1260 to May 1322, was an English jurist who served as Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1316 to 1317. Born near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, he began practicing as an attorney in 1281 and worked his way through a long legal career before reaching the highest judicial office. His tenure at the top was brief: serious allegations of corruption, particularly over his improper conduct in the purchase of a Surrey estate, led to his dismissal as Chief Justice in June 1317, after which he withdrew from public life and died the following year.
