Gundreda the wife of William de Warren has been claimed to be
a daughter of William the Conqueror. This is not correct.
See the full examination of these claims, and the disproof, by C. T.
Clay, *Early Yorkshire Charters*, volume VIII, pp. 40-46.
The following is from [email protected] (Pat Boren) and may
contain errors.
WILLIAM de WARENNE was considered a near kinsman of William the
Conqueror. He received large grants of land in England in
recognition of his distinguished part in the Battle of
Hastings. In 1075, he was appointed joint chief justiciar and
helped suppress the rebellion of the earls of Hereford and
Norfolk. In 1077 he founded the St. Pancras Priory of Lewes
(where he is buried), the first house of the Cluniac order in
England. The position of his castle at Lewes rendered his
loyalty especially useful to King William Rufus during the
rebellion of 1088, for which he was granted the earldom of
Surrey. In addition to Lewes, William held over 40 manors in
Sussex. He married Gundred and had Reginald, Edith, and
William.
