Notities over Walter de Giffard

There can be no doubt, I think, that the Walter Giffard who fought at Hastings was the person to whom William the Conqueror, in 1070, gave the earldom of Buckingham; for, old as he is said by Wace to have represented himself at that period, he lived nineteen years afterwards, and was one of the Commissioners intrusted by William to superintend the compilation of the great survey of England, and I can find no reason whatever for the ordinary assertion that his son, the second Walter, was the first earl.
"There is evidence that in 1079 he founded the priory of St. Michel de Bolbec, and he is reported to have died abt.1081, which we may fairly understand to be 1085, the year in which Domesday was begun and completed.
"The wife of this Walter was Ermengarde, a dau. of Gerrard Flaitel, by whom he had a son, the second Walter, Earl of Buckingham, who died in 1102, and with whom he has been confounded. He had also a second son named William, who was Chancellor to William Rufus, made Bishop of Winchester by Henry I, 1107, and died in 1128, and a dau., named Rohais or Rohesia, wife of Richard Fitz Gilbert, from whom descended the great house of Clare."
