William FitzAldelm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William FitzAldelm, FitzAdelm, FitzAldhelm, or FitzAudelin was a Norman noble from Yorkshire.[1] In 1172, Henry II left him as one of the wardens of Wexford. He was appointed Viceroy of Ireland in 1176, and became involved in a feud with Raymond FitzGerald, whom he found over-mighty.[2] He was replaced in 1179 by Hugh de Lacy.

He is sometimes confused, genealogically, with William de Burgh, but this has long been known to be an error.[3]
