(121:23), (162:23), (169:23). An interesting story is told in Cokayne's "Complete Peerage"(Gloucester). According to the Tewkesbury Abbey Chronicle, Brictric, sonof Algar, otherwise known as Brictric Mawr, a great thegn of the time ofEdward the Confessor, held, with Tewkesbury, various lordships inWorcester, Gloucester, Somerset, and other counties. Maud [Matilda],afterwards wife of WILLIAM THE CONQUERER, in her youth wished tomarry Brictric, who refused her. When she became Queen, sheimprisoned him, and on his death shortly afterwards his manors, the (later) honour of Gloucester, were given to her. For many years it was assumed that Gundred, who married William de Warrene, was a daughter of William I and Matilda (as indicated in The Plantagenet Ancestry). However it is now known that Gundred was a daughter of Gherbod the Fleming (as indicated in Ancestral Roots). The following information strongly suggests that Gundred's mother was Matilda (thus the mistaken notion that she was daughter of William I). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- copied from Bill Crawford's ancestry: crawfolk data base on World Connect Project, rootsweb.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Had Matilda of Flanders as many husbands as Adelaide, Countess of Ponthieu, and, like her, issue by each?
