Basic Life Information

William was a son of Rodulf II de Warenne and Emma and a grandnephew of duchess Gunnor, wife of duke Richard I of Normandy. The de Warenne surname derives from the castle of that name on the River Varenne, which flows through the territory William acquired in Upper Normandy in the region today called Bellencombre.

As a young man, William played a prominent role in protecting the Norman realm of the future William the Conqueror's from a major invasion by the King of France in February 1054 at the Battle of Mortemer. After this battle Roger de Mortemer forfeited most of his lands, and the duke gave them to William.

Battle of Hastings

William was one of the nobles who advised Duke William when the decision to invade England was being considered. He fought at Hastings, and afterwards received the Rape of Lewes in Sussex, and subsequently lands in twelve other shires. He built castles at Lewes (Sussex), Reigate (Surrey), Castle Acre (Norfolk) and Conisbrough in Yorkshire. By the time of the Domesday survey he was one of the wealthiest landholders in England with holdings in 12 counties.

Defending the Realm

He fought against rebels at the Isle of Ely in 1071 where he showed a special desire to hunt down Hereward the Wake who had murdered his brother the year before.

William was loyal to William II William Rufus), and it was probably in early 1088 that he was created Earl of Surrey.

Marriages and Children

He was married twice.

First, William married Gundred (Latin: Gundrada), sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. The children of William and Gundred were:

William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (d. 1138)
Edith de Warenne who married Gerard de Gournay
Reynold de Warenne, who inherited lands from his mother in Flanders and died before 1118

Second, William married a sister of Richard Gouet.

Death

William died shortly after becoming Earl of Surrey from wounds he received while helping suppress the rebellion of 1088. At the time of his death, it has been estimated that his wealth was equivalent to £73.9 billion in today's money.

1st son and heir, is known only from his subscriptions to two charters of his father for the Holy Trinity of Rouen. As his father's lands near Rouen and in the pays de Caux did not pass to his son William or William's descendants, it is likely that Rodulf succeeded to them on his father's death; he married Emma, whose parentage is unknown.

Curt Hofemann, (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX), provided the following additional information on Rodulf, in a post-em:
K.S.B. Keats-Rohan "Poppa of Bayeux and her Family":
1027-35: first occurrence of Ralph de Warenne in a charter for Saint-Amand [p22]
c1050: grant of land in Vascoeuil by Ralph de Warenne and wife Beatrice; charter mentions Ralph's brother Godfrey and was attested by Gotmund miles abbatis. Dateable to c1050 by a reference to Roger de Beaumont as Vicomte of Rouen [p22]
1050's: well known charters of early 1050s by which Ralph de Warenne and his wife Beatrice were associated with the lands of Roger fitz Bishop Hugh of Coutances and his sons. [p23]
Research note: K-R p22 contradicts CP (& Holloway & Wagner) by stating Rodulph/Ralph died before Beatrice. Beatrice is listed as living 1053 (CP XII/1:492 & ES III:698) & dead before 1059 (CP XII/1:492, K-R p22, Moriarty p184, Wagner p46]. K-R states a grant "made by widow Beatrice" to Preaux of land near Dozule, Eure was "dated during the time of William son of Count Robert, suggesting that William had not yet begun the series of military achievements that enabled him to be detached from his father in such references, i.e. before c1054-60". To do: check CP's source of the 1074 grant. Also is the term "widow" K-R's or stated in the grant of the land near Dozule?... Curt
