Subject: Re: Orgins of Warenne Family

. . . it has recently been suggested that William de Warenne was son of

Ralph (Ranulf), husband of Emma, and that Ralph, along with Roger de

Mortimer (RIN 1074), were in turn sons of another Ralph, the husband of

Beatrice (with Beatrice the descendant of Gunnora's clan). At least as

explained in the argument, the dual (actually triple, counting William's

brother) Ralphs seem to better fit the available data. The discussion of

the connection of Beatrice to Gunnora's family is confused and confusing

in this source which at one point shows Beatrice's supposed brother as

the husband of Gunnora's niece (which would negate a supposed descent),

while later shows the father's wife as the niece.

According to Cockayne's "Complete Peerage", he was Lord of Bienfaite &

Orbec in Normandy and accompanied his kinsman, William the Conquerer,

Into England, and was rewarded by him with no less than 176 Lordships,

of which 95 were in Suffolk, attached to the honor of Clare, which honor,

with the castle of Clare, as also the castle of Tonbridge in Kent, he

obtained, becoming thus Lord of Clare and of Tonbridge. During the king's

absence he was Joint Chief Justiciar, and, as such, supressed the revolt

of 1075.

Subject: Re: The first Giffards (n part):

The lasting position of the family in England, however, must be

credited to Baldwin's brother, Richard fitz Gilbert I. He was regent of

England jointly with WILLIAM DE WARENNE (RIN 2437) during THE

CONQUEROR's absence in 1075, and he served in various other important

capacities for THE KING. KING WILLIAM rewarded his cousin well,

granting him one of the largest fiefs in the territorial settlement. The

lordship centered on Clare, Suffolk, which had been an important

stronghold in Anglo-Saxon times. The bulk of Richard fitz Gilbert's

estates lay in Suffolk, Essex, Surrey, and Kent, but comprised holdings in

various other counties in the southern and eastern parts of the kingdom

as well. In addition, WILLIAM arranged for his marriage with ROHESE,

sister of WALTER GIFFARD, later earl of Buckingham, and her dowry,

consisting of lands in Huntingdon and Hertford, became absorbed in the

family inheritance. ..... In addition to the honor of Clare, Richard held

the manor and castle of Tonbridge and associated manors in Kent as a

fief of the archbishop of Canterbury. Through his marriage with ROHESE

GIFFARD, his descendants a century later were to inherit half the Giffard

estates. Richard fitz Gilbert I prospered with his close associations

with his kinsman WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, and by the time of his death

in 1090 he had laid secure territorial foundations for the future

greatness of his house.
