"The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester: Volume 1 by George Ormerod, Daniel King, William Smith, William Webb (sheriff.), Sir Peter Leycester. London: George Routledge, 1882. pp. 689-90, footnotes.

...It could scarcely have been a remarkable fact that in so large an army as that of William the Conqueror, some half dozen sons of a single family should be found, considering the feudal character of that army, and the object of its leader. And there is nothing beyond to urge in favour of the grammatical doubt expressed elsewhere by Leycester. It is stated that Nigel of Halton was the son of Ivo or Ivon, Viscount of Constantine, meaning Cotentin, in Normandy; and it will not be uninteresting in connection with such a history to note, that as Cotentin was, as Palgrave expresses it, the very kernel of Norman nationality, so the County Palatine of Chester, for long after the Conquest, bore much the same character.

The Viscounts of the Cotentise (their proper designation), were the St. Sauveurs. The Barony of St. Sauveur, the premier Barony, was created by grant, by Rollo in favour of Richard de St. Sauveur, one of his chief commanders. Richard's son was Neel or Nigel, Viscount of Cotentin. Compared with the power of, and no less the ability with which that power was wielded by this long and illustrious race of Viscounts, it is scarcely too much to say that of the line of Avranche (afterwards represented by Hugh Lupus), or that of almost any other house of the Baronage of Normandy, was small. In this respect they stood in much the same position to Normandy as the Earls of Chester long afterwards stood in to England."
