William Paget was the son of Thomas Paget, 3rd Baron Paget. After his father's forfeiture, he was restored by James I to the Paget lands and honours and became 4th Baron Paget of Beaudesert.

The source directly links his restoration to the Paget estate; the exact manor-by-manor legal details are not supplied.
