-- Princess Gundred --
It has been said that Gundred was not the daughter of William, the Conqueror, but that she was the daughter of Matilda of Flanders by, perhaps, a previous marriage. The Invincible Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 5, p. 26, says that the inseription on Gundred's tombstone describes her as wife of William de Warren and daughter of Wm., the Conqueror. Also in Burke's Dormant and Extinct Peerage, pp. 154, 568 and 588, she is called daughter by Wm., the Conqueror, in a charter signed by Wm., William de Warren and Henry I, son of William, the Conqueror. Thus proving this much discussed question. E. E. W)


-- William, I --
came from Normandy, a near kinsman of
William the Conqueror. He received large grants of land in recognition of the
distinguished part he took at the battle of Hastings. He had large grants of land in
several counties among which were the barony of Lewes, in Sussex, and the
manors of Carletune and Benington, in Lincolnshire. So extensive indeed were
those grants that his possessions resembled more the dominions of a sovereign
prince than the estates of a subject. He enjoyed, too, in the highest degree, the
confidence of the king, and was appointed joint Justice-General, with Richard de
Benefactis, for administering justice throughout the whole realm. While in that
office, some great disturbers of the public peace having refused to appear before
him and his colleague, in obedience to citation, the Earl took up arms, and
defeated the rebels in a battle at Fagadune, when he is said, for the purpose of
striking terror, to have cut off the right foot of each of his prisoners. Of these
rebels, Ralph Wahir or Gauder, Earl of Norfolk, and Roger, Earl of Hereford,
were the ringleaders. He was likewise highly esteemed by King William Rufus,
and was createdby that monarch the first Earl of Surrey.

He came with Wm. the Conqueror, a cousin. He was awared over 300 manor houses in England. Built castle at Castle Acre, Norfolk. Coat of arms over church door in Caslte Acre.
