• Notes

  At one time it was thought that Gundred was the Daughter of William the Conqueror. This has since been disproved. For details see the entry for Matilda (Gundred) under William. I have shown the link to William I as believed by Burke. More disputes re who her parents were? 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) It was thought that Matilda (Gundred) married William de Warren, 1st Earl of Surrey. That has since been disproved. For details see "Early Yorkshire Charters" by C. T. Clay or "tudes sur Quelques Points de l'Histoire de Guillame le Conqurant" by H. Prentout described under Surrey in "The Complete Peerage" by G.E. Gibbs. GIVEN_NAMES: Also shown as Matilda DEATH: Also shown as Died Bef 1112
