"One of King William's most favored companions; had numerous manors at Domesday; md Agnes (1040)(2nd mar. for both...), d. of Waldren de St.Clare." {-"Some Early English Pedigrees," Vernon M. Norr (Arlington, VA, 1968, typescript, p. 34, used at
Library of Congress, 7/89)} Conflicting
accounts of his parentage exist among genealogists; I have used the reasoning given in "The Bruce Journal," Vol. 1, No. 4 (Fall, 1990), p. 46. William built the great Bramber Castle at Stynning, Sussex; he held the "rape of Bramber." Also see the
discussion of his identity in "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co, 1994), pp. 35-36.Family/Spouse: Clare, Agnes de St.. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
