    De Guader or de Gael. Ralph was Norman Earl of Norfolk, Suffolk and
    Cambridge as well as Lord of Gael in his native land of Brittany. His
    inheritance of Gael included more than 40 parishes - he resided in later
    life there, though he died while on Crusade with the Duke of Normandy.
    However, Encyclopedia Britannica (1956, 16:488) states that Ralph
    "forfeited the earldom when he revolted against William in 1075." He is
    "probably the son of Ralf, earl of Hereford (or earl of the East Angles),
    and Getha, an English heiress, which Ralf was the son of Gode, sister of
    Edward the Confessor, by her first husband, Dreu, count of Vexin, Pontoise,
    Chaumont and Amiens. {-per M.J.Crispiin's "Falaise Roll," 1938, p. 74 -
    this is the father shown for him as #565}. Ralph was a major field
    commander for the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, for which he
    received the earldoms of Norfolk and Suffolk, and part of Cambridge.

    Ralph married Hereford, Lady Emma of in 1075. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
