William was the son and heir of Gilbert de Aton of Ayton.[1] Baron Aton was summoned to a Council in October 1359, and to Parliament on 8 January 1370 by writ. He was Sheriff of Yorkshire between 1368-70 and 1372-73. He participated in the French Wars of King Edward III of England. He died c. 1388, his son and heir William died in his minority, thus the Barony fell into abeyance between his daughters.[2][3]

gollark: I added some features to `nil`, `number:tostring()`, "addition"/"subtraction" for functions, and many things for strings.
gollark: I implemented division of strings then fraction support so you can do `1 / "d" * "abcdefg"`.
gollark: Metatables are so much fun especially with `debug`.
