1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GUNDRED DE WARENNE, married (1st) before 1130 ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, by Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Perche. He was probably a minor in 1119. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Warwick] Waleran [4th Earl of Warwick], and Henry, and three daughters, Gundred (wife of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Roger de Glanville), Margaret, and Agnes (wife of Geoffrey de Clinton the younger). He joined his parents, Henry and Margaret, in an undated grant of property to Warwick St. Mary. He succeeded to the earldom in 1123, before Easter, presumably when he came of age. He completed the foundation of the collegiate church of St. Mary and All Saints, Warwick c.1123. He attested charters of King Henry I, the two latest in 1131. After the accession of King Stephen, he was at the Easter court in 1136 at Westminster. He witnessed the king's charter of liberties at Oxford in April 1136. Following the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he joined the Empress Maud of his own free will. He served with her at the Siege of Winchester in 1141, but early in 1142 he was with King Stephen at Stamford. At an unknown date he allowed Warwick Castle to be garrisoned by Stephen's troops. In 1153 he was with the king when he heard that the garrison had been tricked by Henry's knights and the Castle surrendered. He founded the Templars' House and St. Michael's Hospital, both in Warwick, and completed the foundation of Warwick Priory. ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, died in 1153. In the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II [1158-9], his widow, Gundred, had remission granted of the scutage upon 20 knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. She married (2nd) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE LANCASTER (also known as WILLIAM FITZ GILBERT), of Kendal, Westmorland, Lamplugh, Muncaster, and Workington, Cumberland, Garstang, Ulverston, Warton, and Wyresdale, Lancashire, etc., son and heir of Gilbert, by his wife, Godith. In the period, 1150-5, Roger de Mowbray granted him all his land of Lonsdale, Kendal, and Horton in Ribblesdale. In the period, 1153-60, he was granted lands in Gastang, Ulverston, and Warton, Lancashire by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. In the period, 1153-6, he and his wife, Gundred, and his son and heir, William, granted the canons of St. Mary de Pré, Leicester the manor and church of Cockerham, Lancashire. In the period, 1156-60, he added common of pasture throughout his fee in Lonsdale and Amoundemess. His wife, Gundred, Countess of Warwick, was living in 1166. WILLIAM DE LANCASTER died before Michaelmas 1170, when Richard de Morville proferred 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with Avice his wife, daughter of the said William.
