The notion that Gundred was of royal birth is generally thought to be a modern myth (see the Gundred article). I'd just remove that statement but it would be nice to find some other motivation for Warenne's actions. Loren Rosen 19:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gundred

It has been said that due to the pope having not blessed the marriage of King William, that the birth of Gundred was not reported as it would have violated the will of the church. If not of William, then who's daughter is she? She's in the Domesday book as his daughter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonff (talkcontribs) 14:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Not in Domesday so far as I know. Her father is thought to be Gerbod, hereditary advocate of St. Bertin in Flanders, though I don't know how certain the evidence is for that. Loren Rosen 03:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
