Walter of Douai rebelled against William II, and also his lands were seized and added to the honour of Marshwood (Dorset), which sublet Townstal as well as Dartmouth to the FitzStephens. It was possibly throughout the early part of their proprietorship that Dartmouth began to expand as a port, as it was of strategic significance as a deep-water port for cruising vessels. The port was used as the cruising factor for the Crusades of 1147 and also 1190, and also Warfleet Creek, near Dartmouth Castle is supposed by some to be named for the large fleets which set up there. Dartmouth was a house of the Royal Navy from the power of Edward III as well as was two times stunned and sacked during the Hundred Years War, after which the mouth of the tidewater was shut every night with an excellent chain. The slim mouth of the Dart is protected by two prepared castles, Dartmouth Castle as well as Kingswear Castle. Originally Dartmouth's only wharf was Bayard's Cove, a relatively little area shielded by a ft at the southerly end of the community.
