• Background Information: ^120b,567
Philip de Fleg, son of Sir John de Fleg, was born about 1225, as the third son of Sir John. His eldest brother, Simon de Fleg, inherited the family manors and other estates in about 1241. Simon died without issue and was succeeded by the next brother, William de Fleg in about 1265. William died without sons around 1280, and his ancestral estates were passed onto his daughters. Philip de Fleg never succeeded to the family manors, so he and his descendants did not have the wealth or rank of landed gentry held by his ancestors.

The earliest mention of Philip de Fleg is in April 1250, when he and his older brother, William de Fleg, were sureties for their uncle, Philip de Fleg. By an undated deed, Hugh, son of Geoffrey de Haye of Sall, granted to Philip, son of John de Fleg, certain land in Sall, in consideration of homage and payment of 40s. About the same time (1250), Emma, widow of Simon the son of Joceline de Melewde, quitclaimed to Philip, son of John de Fleg and his heirs, all her right of dower in the land in Melewde which said John de Fleg, father of Philip, had held of the said Simon, her late husband. Philip de Fleg was witness to a grant made on 3 May 1268 from Walter de Mouteby to Ralph de Nugun.

Philip de Fleg died between 1268 and 1286. There is only evidence of two son. They were another Philip and William, ancestor of the Flegs of Wood Dalling, a parish next to Sall.
