Notes about Ralph "The Timid" de Sudeley, Earl of Hereford

Ralph, described by contemporaries as "Comes" [Earl], possibly a courtier of comital rank but without a territorial earldom, at any rate in England, for he was French, to support the dignity, but also possibly Earl of Worcester or conceivably Hereford (he was employed at a high level against a Welsh incursion into England and revolts by various earls throughout the 1050s, though on one occasion he and his soldiers ran away before fighting even began); and/or even the East Midlands; held Sudeley and Toddington, Glos, and Chilvers Cotton, Warwicks; married Getha, and died 21 Dec 1057. [Burke's Peerage]ux, Count of the Vexin, by Goda, sister of Edward the Confessor, but he is first credited with an Earldom of Worcester prior to 1049. On the landing of Eustace, Count of Boulogne, "Earl Ralph" is stated to have been one of those who brought assistance "de suo comitatu", but it is not by any means clear what is intended by "comitatu". When the great earldom of Swein was confiscated and broken up, Ralph is presumed to have received Herefordshire, and to have been Earl of Hereford when he opposed Aelfgar's forces in 1055. According to Hoveden, he met the enemy 2 miles from Hereford and shortly after the battle fled from the field with his French and Norman followers, leaving Hereford to be sacked and burnt. He d. 21 Dec 1057, and was buried in Peterborough Abbey. [Complete Peerage VI:446-7]
