https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabel_de_Warenne,_Countess_of_Surrey

She was the only surviving heir of William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey and his wife, Adela, the daughter of William III of Ponthieu.

She was the great-granddaughter of the first Norman Earl of Surrey, William and his Flemish wife Gundred. When her father died in the Holy Land c.1148 she inherited the earldom of Surrey and was married to William of Blois, the younger son of King Stephen, who became Earl through his marriage to her.

The marriage occurred at a critical moment in The Anarchy as part of the king's attempt to control the de Warenne lands. The couple did not have any children and after William's death in 1159, King Henry II's brother, William X, Count of Poitou sought her hand, but Thomas Becket refused a dispensation from affinity on the grounds of consanguinity. In April 1164, the countess married Hamelin of Anjou, a natural half-brother of King Henry, who became the Earl of Surrey. The countess lived an unusually long life, dying at age 73.

She and William of Blois had no children. Isabelle and her second husband Hamelin had four surviving children:

1. William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey, only son and heir, who married Maud Marshal.

2. Clemence (aka Adela), mistress of her cousin King John, and by him the mother of Richard FitzRoy, feudal baron of Chilham, in Kent.

3. Ela, who married firstly Robert de Newburn and secondly William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough.

4.Maud (alias Matilda), who married firstly Henry Count d'Eu and Lord of Hastings, secondly Henry d'Estouteville, Seigneur de Valmont.

5. Isabel,who married firstly Robert de Lacy of Pontefract, and secondly Gilbert de l'Aigle, Lord of Pevensey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Warenne,_3rd_Earl_of_Surrey

He was an Anglo-Norman nobleman who fought in England during the Anarchy and generally remained loyal to King Stephen. He participated in the Second Crusade.

He was the eldest son of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (d.1138) by his wife Elizabeth de Vermandois. He was a great-grandson of King Henry I of France, and half-brother to Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, Waleran IV de Beaumont, Count of Meulan, and Hugh de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Bedford.

Still in his minority in 1137 he was serving with Stephen, King of England in Normandy being one of those young nobles who initially fled the battle. Stephen pursued them, held them and did his best to pacify them but did not make them fight. At his father's death in 1138, William became the third Earl of Surrey. At Easter 1138 he accompanied his half-brother Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester on an embassy to Paris for the purpose of ratifying a treaty between the English and French kings. On February 2nd 1141 he and his half-brother Waleran were again with King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln but fled at the initial charge of the enemy forces. They both joined Queen Matilda but on King Stephen's release they were once again among his followers, and William witnessed a royal charter at Canterbury in late 1141.

William married Adela (alias Ela), daughter of Count William III of Ponthieu, by his wife Helie daughter of Odo I, Duke of Burgundy. They had one child and sole-heiress, a daughter, Isabel de Warenne, in her own right 4th Countess of Surrey. She married firstly William of Blois (d.1159), the second son of king Stephen, who became Earl Warenne or Earl of Surrey. After he died without progeny in October 1159, she married to Hamelin, half-brother of King Henry II, who became Earl Warenne or Earl of Surrey. He adopted the surname "de Warenne", and the earldom continued in his descendants.

He was one of the nobles who, along with his second cousin, King Louis VII of France, took crusading vows at Vezelay in 1146, and he accompanied the initial army of the Second Crusade the next year. He was killed at the Battle of Mount Cadmus while the crusader army was marching across Anatolia on their way to the Holy Land.

In December 1147 the French-Norman force reached Ephesus. They were joined by remnants of the army of the Holy Roman Empire, which had previously suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Dorylaeum in 1147. They marched across southwest Turkey and fought an unsuccessful battle at Laodicea (3?4 January 1148) on the border between the Byzantine Empire and the Sultanate of Rum . On 6 January 1148 they battled again in the area of Mount Cadmus, where Turks ambushed the infantry and non-combatants only, because they had become separated from the rest of the army. King Louis VII and his bodyguard of Knights Templars and noblemen recklessly charged the Turks. Most of the knights were killed, including William, and Louis barely escaped with his life. His army arrived later at the coastal city of Adalia. The battle is recorded by Odo of Deuil, personal chaplain to Louis, in his narrative "De Profectione."

William married Adela (Ela) of Ponthieu. Adela (daughter of William (Guillaume) III (Talvas) of Ponthieu, Count of Ponthieu and Helie of Burgundy) was born ca 1118, France; died 10 Oct 1174, Wiltshire, England; was buried , Bradenstoke Priory, Bradenstoke, Wiltshire, England. [Group Sheet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Warenne,_2nd_Earl_of_Surrey

He was the son of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey and his first wife Gundred. He was more often referred to as Earl Warenne or Earl of Warenne than as Earl of Surrey.

His father, the 1st Earl, was one of the Conqueror's most trusted and most rewarded barons who, at his death in 1088, was the 3rd or 4th richest magnate in England. In 1088 William II inherited his father's lands in England and his Norman estates including the castles of Mortemer and Bellencombre in Normandy. But William II was not as disposed to serve the king as his father was.

When Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy invaded England 1101 William joined him. But when Curthose promptly surrendered to Henry I, William lost his English lands and titles and was exiled to Normandy. There he complained to Curthose that he had expended great effort on the duke's behalf and in return lost all of his English possessions. Curthose's return to England in 1103 was apparently made to convince his brother, the king, to restore William's earldom.

In 1118 William finally acquired the royal-blooded bride he desired when he married Elizabeth de Vermandois. She was a daughter of count Hugh of Vermandois, a granddaughter of Henry I, King of France, and was the widow of Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester.

By Elizabeth his wife he had three sons and two daughters:

1. William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey

2, Reginald de Warenne, who inherited his father's property in Normandy, including the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer.

3. Ralph de Warenne

4. Gundred de Warenne, who married first Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick and second William, lord of Kendal, and is most remembered for expelling king Stephen's garrison from Warwick Castle.

5. Ada de Warenne, who married Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, the mother of two Scottish kings, she made many grants to the priory of Lewes.

William's death is recorded as 11-May-1138 in the register of Lewes Priory and he was buried at his father's feet at the Chapter house there. His wife, the countess Elizabeth, survived him, dying before July 1147.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III,_Count_of_Ponthieu

He was seigneur de Montgomery in Normandy and Count of Ponthieu. William was son of Robert II of Bellême and Agnes of Ponthieu. He succeeded his father as count of Ponthieu some time between 1105 and 1111.

His father Robert de Bellême had turned against Henry I on several occasions, had escaped capture at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. While serving as envoy for King Louis of France, he was arrested by Henry I and imprisoned for life.

William was naturally driven by this to oppose King Henry. In June of 1119, however, Henry I restored all his father's lands in Normandy. Sometime prior to 1126, William resigned the county of Ponthieu to his son Guy but retained the title of count. In 1135 Henry I again confiscated all his Norman lands to which William responded by joining count Geoffrey of Anjou in his invasion of Normandy after Henry I's death.

He married, abt. 1115, Helie of Burgundy, daughter of Eudes I, Duke of Burgundy. The Gesta Normannorum Ducum says that they had five children, three sons and two daughters.


1. Guy II. He assumed the county of Ponthieu during his father Talvas' lifetime, but died in 1147 predeceasing his father.

2. William, Count of Alençon.

3. John I, Count of Alençon, married Beatrix d'Anjou, daughter of Elias II, Count of Maine and Philippa, daughter of Rotrou III, Count of Perche.

4. Clemence married (abt. 1189) Juhel, son of Walter of Mayenne.

5. Adela (aka Ela) married William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey. She married, secondly, Patrick of Salisbury.

William married Helie of Burgundy. Helie (daughter of Eudes (Odo) I of Burgundy, Duke of Burgundy and Sibylla of Burgundy, Duchess of Burgundy) was born ca 1080, County of Burgundy, France; died 28 Feb 1141, Perseigne Abbey, Neufchâtel-en-Saosnois, France; was buried , Perseigne Abbey, Neufchâtel-en-Saosnois, France.

She was the daughter of Eudes I and Sibylla of Burgundy.

In June 1095, she married Bertrand of Toulouse, as his second wife. The two had one son, Pons of Tripoli (c.?1098-1137).

Bertrand succeeded his father as Count of Toulouse in 1105, and in 1108, he set out for Outremer to claim his father's rights as Count of Tripoli. Helie accompanied him on this expedition, which resulted in the capture of Tripoli in 1109; shortly after, their nephew, William-Jordan died of wounds, giving Bertrand an undisputed claim to Tripoli.

Bertrand died in 1112, and Pons succeeded him in Tripoli. Helie returned to France, where she married William III of Ponthieu in 1115.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Warenne,_1st_Earl_of_Surrey

He was a Norman nobleman who was created Earl of Surrey under William II "Rufus." He was one of the few who was documented to have been with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. At the Domesday Survey he held extensive lands in thirteen counties including the Rape of Lewes in Sussex (now East Sussex).

William was a younger son of Ranulf I de Warenne and his 1st wife Beatrice (whose mother was probably a sister of duchess Gunnor, wife of duke Richard I).

At the beginning of Duke William of Normamdy's reign [the Conqueror], his father was not a major landholder and, as a second son, William de Warenne did not stand to inherit the family?s small estates. During the rebellions of 1052-1054, the young William de Warenne proved himself a loyal adherent to the Duke and played a significant part in the Battle of Mortemer for which he was rewarded with lands confiscated from his uncle, Roger of Mortimer, including the Castle of Mortimer and most of the surrounding lands. At about the same time he acquired lands at Bellencombre including the castle which became the center of William de Warenne's holdings in Normandy.

William was among the Norman barons summoned to a council by Duke William when the decision was made to oppose King Harold II's accession to the throne of England. He is one of the very few proven companions of William the Conqueror known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and was well rewarded with numerous holdings, including several manors in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

He fought against rebels at the Isle of Ely in 1071, where he showed a special desire to hunt down Hereward the Wake who had killed his brother-in-law Frederick the year before.

Sometime between 1078 and 1082, William and his wife Gundred traveled to Rome visiting monasteries along the way. They visited Cluny Abbey and were impressed with the monks and their dedication. William and Gundred decided to found a Cluniac priory on their own lands in England. The house they founded was Lewes Priory, the first Cluniac priory in England.

William was loyal to William II, and it was probably in early 1088 that he was created Earl of Surrey. He was mortally wounded at the First Siege of Pevensey Castle and died 24 June 1088 at Lewes, Sussex, and was buried next to his wife Gundred at the Chapterhouse of Lewes Priory.

He married first, before 1070, Gundred, and they had the following children:

1. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (d. 1138), who married Elisabeth (Isabelle) de Vermandois, widow of Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester.

2. Edith de Warenne, who married firstly Gerard de Gournay, lord of Gournay-en-Bray, and secondly Drew de Monchy.

3. Reynold de Warenne, who inherited lands from his mother in Flanders and died c. 1106.

4. An unnamed daughter, who married Ernise de Coulonces.[

Gundred married before 1070 William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey (d. 20 June 1088), who rebuilt Lewes Castle, making it his chief residence. Sometime between 1078 and 1082, Gundred and her husband set out for Rome visiting monasteries along the way. They visited Cluny Abbey and were impressed with the monks and their dedication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_of_Bell%C3%AAme,_3rd_Earl_of_Shrewsbury

Having the titles of seigneur de Bellême (or Belèsme), seigneur de Montgomery, viscount of the Hiémois, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury and Count of Ponthieu, he was an Anglo-Norman nobleman, and one of the most prominent figures in the competition for the succession to England and Normandy between the sons of William the Conqueror. He was a member of the powerful House of Bellême.

Robert became notorious for his alleged cruelty. The chronicler Orderic Vitalis calls him "Grasping and cruel, an implacable persecutor of the Church of God and the poor... unequalled for his iniquity in the whole Christian era." The stories of his brutality may have inspired the legend of Robert the Devil.

Robert was the oldest surviving son of Roger of Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Mabel de Bellême. In 1073 when William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, invaded Maine, Robert was knighted by him at the siege of Fresnai castle. By now probably of age and independent of his father he took part in the 1077 revolt of the young Robert Curthose against his father, Duke William.

When Robert's mother, Mabel, was killed c.?1079, Robert inherited her vast estates. But at this point Duke William took the added precaution of garrisoning the Bellême castles with his own soldiers, which was his ducal right. On hearing the news of William the Conqueror's death in 1087, Robert's first act was to expel the ducal garrisons from all his castles.

Robert Curthose has succeeded his father as Duke of Normandy. He was told of a plot to place him on the throne of England in his brother William II's (William Rufus) place, a plot that Duke Robert enthusiastically approved and supported. Robert de Bellême, his brother Hugh de Montgomery and a third brother, either Roger or Arnulf, participated in this rebellion in England. In the Rebellion of 1088, beginning at Easter the rebels burned and wasted the king's properties and those of his followers. Robert de Bellême was among the rebels who found themselves defending Rochester Castle. When William Rufus blockaded the town and built two counter-castles, the garrison began negotiating for surrender under honorable terms, being allowed to keep their lands and serve the king. This Rufus refused; he was furious and had initially wanted the traitors hanged "or by some other form of execution utterly removed from the face of the earth." Other great Anglo-Norman barons interceded with the King, until finally in July a semi-honorable surrender was negotiated between the king and the rebels. Rufus, albeit reluctantly, guaranteed the rebels life and limb and gave them safe conduct back to France.

Robert sailed back to Normandy in the company of Count Henry (later king Henry I), who had not been part a of the conspiracy against his brother William Rufus. They were destined to become bitter enemies. Robert de Bellême was a powerful and dangerous disruptive force in Normandy now free to do as he would. However, Duke Robert Curthose of Normandy had been convinced by Bishop Odo of Bayeux that both Henry and his travel companion Robert de Bellême were now conspiring with William Rufus against him. Both Henry and Robert were seized as they disembarked and, both placed in the Bishop's custody, were imprisoned; Henry at Bayeux and Robert at Neuilly-ll'Evêque, now Neuilly-la-Forêt.

On hearing his son was imprisoned Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury immediately went to Normandy and put all his castles in a state of readiness against the duke. At this point the Montgomery family was in a state of rebellion against Robert Curthose. Bishop Odo now instigated Duke Robert to take all the castles of Robert de Bellême by force and the duke gathered an army and proceeded against them. Earl Roger sent peace envoys to the duke and convinced him to release his son Robert which the fickle duke finally did.

By 1090 Robert was back in Robert Curthose's good graces, Orderic Vitalis calling him a "principal councilor" to duke Robert. He supported Curthose in putting down a revolt by the citizens of Rouen, in 1090, and took considerable numbers of the citizens captive throwing them into dungeons. The inhabitants of Domfront, long a Bellême-Montgomery stronghold, invited Henry, the duke's younger brother to take possession of Domfront. Apparently they had grown weary of Robert's oppressive and abusive style of lordship.

In 1094 Robert's father, earl Roger, died. Robert's younger brother Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury inherited the English lands and titles, while Robert inherited his father's Norman properties, which included good part of central and southern Normandy, in part adjacent to the Bellême territories he had already inherited from his mother. In 1098 Robert's younger brother Hugh died, and Robert inherited, on payment of £3,000 in relief, the English properties that had been their father's, including Arundel in Sussux and the Earldom of Shrewsbury. Robert had also acquired the countship of Ponthieu and the parish of Tickhill; all of which combined made him the wealthiest magnate in both England and Normandy.

In 1096, Duke Robert of Normandy took up the cross on the First Crusade and left the custody of the duchy to his brother William Rufus, King of England. He returned from the First Crusade in triumph. He was encouraged to invade England and depose his brother Henry I. Robert de Bellême was one of the great magnates who joined Robert's 1101 invasion of England, along with Bellême's brothers Roger the Poitevin and Arnulf of Montgomery and his nephew William, Count of Mortain. This invasion, however, which aimed to depose Henry I, ended bloodlessly in the Treaty of Alton which called for amnesty for the participants but allowed traitors to be punished.

Henry I took a year compiling charges against Robert and his brothers and Robert's unlicensed castle building. Henry had a series of charges drawn up against Robert in 1102, and when Robert refused to answer for them, gathered his forces and besieged and captured Robert's English castles. Robert lost his English lands and titles (as did his brothers), was banished from England, and returned to Normandy.

In 1106 Robert was one of Curthose's commanders at the Battle of Tinchebrai commanding the rear division and, when the battle turned in Henry's favour, he and most of those with him avoided capture by fleeing the field. With Normandy now under Henry's rule, Robert de Bellême submitted and was allowed to retain his Norman fiefs and his office as viscount of the Hiémois. But Henry was still wary of Robert and placed his followers in key positions in Normandy.

Robert married Agnes of Ponthieu, before 9 Sep 1087, and they had one child, William III of Ponthieu, who via his mother inherited the county of Ponthieu.

Orderic Vitalis portrays Robert de Bellême as a villain, especially when compared to Henry I, whose misdemeanors the chronicler felt were excusable. Orderic calls Robert "Grasping and cruel, an implacable persecutor of the Church of God and the poor... unequaled for his iniquity in the whole Christian era." The basis for Orderic's animosity towards Robert and his de Bellême predecessors was the longstanding and bitter feud between the Giroie family, patrons of Orderic's Abbey of Saint-Evroul, and the de Bellême family. William Talvas (de Bellême), Robert's grandfather, had blinded and mutilated William fitz Giroie

He did at times appropriate church properties and was not a major donor to any ecclesiastical house. But Robert's attitudes toward the church are typical of many of his contemporaries; certainly no worse than the secular rulers and other magnates of his day. According to William Hunt in the Dictionary of National Biography, various stories of his brutality were circulated after his death.

Robert de Bellême was typical of his generation, the sons of William's companions who had earned their great honors and titles at the battle of Hastings in 1066. This newer generation did not share the values and attitudes of their fathers but rather had different experiences altogether. They had inherited their wealth and status, not earned it. Yet this next generation expected royal favor and patronage without attending court or serving the king in any capacity. They often rebelled when they felt they were not being treated with the dignity and respect they deserved. [Charlotte A. Newman, The Anglo-Norman Nobility in the Reign of Henry I, The Second Generation (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1988), pp. 17-18; also: William M. Aird, Robert Curthose', Duke of Normandy (C. 1050?1134) (Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 2011), pp. 69-70, 83.]

Robert married Agnes of Ponthieu, Countess of Ponthieu. Agnes (daughter of Guy I of Ponthieu, Count of Ponthieu) was born ca 1080, Abbeville, Picardie, France; died Aft 1105, Abbeville, Picardie, France. [Group Sheet]

Agnes became count Guy's heiress, and was married to Robert of Bellême.
