Chris Phillips posted to GEN-MEDIEVAL@rootsweb.com on 09 Aug 1999 Subject: Ancestry of Petronella de Grandmesnil (rather long): . "This is by way of a postscript to the discussion a few months ago about the ancestry of Petronella, heiress of the Norman honor of Grandmesnil, and wife of Robert, Earl of Leicester (d.1190). I have finally got round to looking at all the references people were kind enough to suggest (and a few more), and thought I would post the comments below, in the hope they might be useful. . To recap briefly, Petronella has long been known to have been a great granddaughter of Hugh de Grandmesnil, the Domesday tenant 1, and more recently it has been discovered 2 that Petronella's father was called William. Assuming that William was a descendant of Hugh in the male line, the question is: which of Hugh's five sons was the father of William? |
