He was with the King when York submitted in 1067, and, with Robert fitz Richard and Gilbert de Ghent, was left in command of the city; he himself being about this time appointed sheriff of the county. When York was taken by the Danes in September. 1069, he and Gilbert de Ghent were still in command. The garrison was slain, only "William Malet, his wife and two children," and a few others, being spared.

The wife of William Malet was Hesilia, daughter of Gilbert Crispin, of BecCrispin. By her he left issue Robert, William, Gilbert, Lucy, Countess of Chester, and Beatrix. The latter married William de Arches, and by him had two daughters, his co-heirs, of whom Emma married, 1st, Nigel de Monville

Robert Malet succeeded his father in 1069. His principal residence was Eye, in Suffolk, where he founded a priory as a cell to the abbey of Bernai, in Normandy. He was great-chamberlain to Henry I., but took Duke Robert's side, and was killed at the battle of Tinchebrai, 28th Sept. 1106. His estates were escheated; but subsequently (about 1152) his nephew, Rannulph, Earl of Chester (son of his sister Lucy), obtained the Honour of Eye (Yorks. Arch. and Top. Journal, iv., 144).
