According to the "Dictionary of National Biography" Randulf came to
England with WILLIAM THE CONQUERER and received the city of Carlisle,
becoming lord of that district. His land holdings were greatly increased
as a result of his marriage to the heiress LUCY. He supported KING HENRY
I in 1106 and led the van in the Batle of Tinchebrai. He was also loyal to
HENRY in the struggle of 1119. Upon the death of his mother's nephew,
Richard of Avaranches (RIN 3104) in 1119 in the tragedy of the White
Ship, Randulf succeded to the Earldom of Chester. His career as Earl of
Chester appears to have been uneventful, save that in 1123 he was sent
over with the EARL OF GLOUCESTER (ROBERT [RIN 797]) to secure the
saftey of Normandy, then threatened by FULK V, COUNT OF ANJOU
(RIN 1039).
