Griffen de Warenne, Lord of Ightfield was born 1270 in England to John de Warenne (c1235-) and Audelin de Albo Monasterio (c1235-) and died 1356 Ightfield, Shropshire, England of unspecified causes. He married Wynifreda Broxton (c1270-) 1298 JL in England.
Griffin is a Welsh name, the second element deriving from Welsh udd "lord, prince" but the first element being of uncertain meaning. Ightfield was mentioned as ISTEFELT in the Domesday Book and though not as important as some parishes in the area, it had its own priest which implies an established community which had its own church. The constant necessity of defending their territories against the Welsh prompted the Norman lords of Shropshire to such activity in castle-building that out of 186 castles in England no less than 32 are in this county. Shropshire became a key area within the Welsh Marches.
