GODITHA .
Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter of William of Lancaster to York St Leonard's, confirming a donation by his "avunculus" Ketel fitz Eldred, from which it can be deduced that William´s mother was Ketel´s sister (assuming that avunculus is interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle)[168]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.
m GILBERT, son of ---.
An undated manuscript relating to Cokersand Abbey, Lancashire names လGilbertumဝ as son of ဝKetellusဝ[169], but this is proved incorrect by the charter cited above which confirms that Gilbert´s wife was the sister of Ketel.

It is possible that "Gillebto de Lancas" in this charter was related to Hawise de Lancaster, the wife of Richard de Morville, possibly her paternal uncle. It is not known whether "Ricardo filio Gillebti" was the son of the same person, although this is suggested because the name follows Gilbert´s.]

WILLIAM "Taillebois" de Lancaster (-after 1166).
An undated manuscript relating to Cokersand Abbey, Lancashire names လWillielmusဝ as son of ဝGilbertusဝ[173]. လWillielmus filius Ranulphiဝ confirmed the foundation of St Bee´s priory, Cumberland by undated charter, dated to [1105/20], which refers to donations by လWillielmus filius Gilberti de Lancastriaဝ[174].

A charter of King Henry II confirmed the donation to Furness by လWillilemum filium Gilbertiဝ also named လprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboysဝ[176].
Lord of Kendale and Lonsdale in Westmoreland in 1166[177]. A charter of King Henry II records that ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù married ·ÄúGundredam comitissam Warwic·Äù[178].
[m firstly ---.
No direct proof has been found of this supposed first marriage. However, assuming that Hawise, wife of Richard de Moreville, was the daughter of William de Lancaster, she must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage, given the estimated birth date of William´s known wife Gundred de Warenne.]
m [secondly] ([Jun 1153/1156]) as her second husband, GUNDRED de Warenne, widow of ROGER de Beaumont Earl of Warwick, daughter of WILLIAM de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his wife Elisabeth de Vermandois [Capet] ([1120 or after]-after 1166).
Guillaume de Jumièges records that the elder daughter of "Guillaume II de Warenne comte de Surrey" & his wife married "Roger comte de Warwick, fils du comte Henri, frère de Robert comte de Meulan et né de Marguerite sœur de Rotrou comte du Perche" but does not name her[179]. Robert of Torigny names "Gondrada sorore uterine Galeranni comitis Mellenti" as wife of "Rogero comite Warwicensi"[180]. An undated manuscript relating to Cokersand Abbey, Lancashire records that လWillielmum de Lancasterဝ married ဝGundredam prius comitissam de Warwykeဝ[181].
Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter of King Henry II which records that ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù married ·ÄúGundredam comitissam Warwic·Äù[182].
William & his [first] wife had [one child]:
a) [HAWISE de Lancaster .
"Ricardus de Morevill constabularius regis Scottie" donated "totam terram de Blanesleye" to Melrose abbey, with the consent of "Willi de Morevill filii et heredis mei", for the souls of "mee etဦuxoris mee Auicie et Willi filii mei", by undated charter[183]. "Will de Morev" confirmed the donation of "totam terram de Bleyneslei" to Melrose abbey, made by "pater meus Ric de Moreuill", for the souls of "mee etဦuxoris mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ric de Morv patre meo, Auice de Loncastre matreဦ"[184].
There is uncertainty surrounding this "Hawise de Lancaster". Her marriage to William Peveril is confirmed by the undated charter under which ·ÄúAvisia de Lancastria, uxor Willielmi Peverel·Äù donated property to Derley Priory by undated charter[185]. According to Domesday Descendants, she married secondly Richard de Morville (no corresponding primary source cited)[186]. The primary source which confirms that the widow of William Peverel was the same person who remarried Richard de Morville has not yet been identified.
There is also a difficulty concerning Hawise´s parentage. Domesday Descendants states that the wife of Richard de Morville was the daughter of William de Lancaster (no corresponding primary source cited)[187]. As can be seen from the chronology of William de Lancaster´s known wife Gundred de Warenne, this affiliation would only be possible if Hawise had been born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage. On the other hand, the onomastics are favourable for this affiliation, as each succeeding generation of the "de Lancaster" family included a Hawise de Lancaster. A different affiliation is suggested by the Complete Peerage which speculates that the wife of William Peverel was Hawise, daughter of Roger de Montgommery Lord of Lancaster & his wife Almodis Ctss de la Marche[188]. This is not an ideal fit. Her supposed father Roger was banished from England in 1102 and retired to La Marche, so it is unclear why Hawise would have been described as လde Lancastriaဝ in a charter which must have been dated about 40 years later. In any case, the chronology is unfavourable. It is unlikely that the wife of Roger de Montgommery, Almodis de la Marche, was born much later than 1070, given the known chronology of her family, which means that her children would have been born before 1110 at the latest.
On the other hand, it is likely that William Peverel´s second marriage should be dated to the early 1140s at the earliest, as his first wife is named in one of the charters of Stephen King of England (who succeeded in 1135). Such a marriage date is late if his second wife was born in the early 1100s, and impossible assuming that his widow was the same person who married Richard de Morville and had children by him in the late 1150s.
m firstly as his second wife, WILLIAM Peverel of Nottingham, son of WILLIAM Peverel & his wife Adeline ([1100/05]-after 1155). m secondly RICHARD de Moreville, son of HUGH de Morville & his wife Beatrice de Beauchamp (-1189).
William & his [second] wife had one child:
b) WILLIAM de Lancaster (-bur Furness Abbey).
An undated manuscript relating to Cokersand Abbey, Lancashire names လWillielmus de Lancaster secundusဝ as son of ဝWillielmum de Lancasterဝ[189]. A charter of King Henry II confirmed the donation to Furness by လWillilemum filium Gilbertiဝ and names လWillielmum secundumဝ as son of လprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboysဝ and his wife လGundredam comitissam Warwicဝ[190]. လWillielmus de Lancastreဝ donated property to Furness Abbey, for the soul of လAgnetis sponsæ meæဝ by charter dated 6 Nov 1240 which records that လavi meiဦWillielmi de Lancastreဝ was buried in the abbey[191].

From the English Wikipedia page on William de Lancaster I:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Lancaster_I
William de Lancaster I, or William Fitz Gilbert, was a nobleman of the twelfth century in Northwest England. He was possibly also referred to as William de Tailboys (de Taillebois) when younger. He is the first person of whom we have any record to bear the name of Lancaster and pass it on to his descendants as a family name. He died in about 1170.
The blazonry attributed to William de Lancaster I and several of his main line descendants: "Argent (silver or white), two bars gules (red), and on a canton of the second, a lion, passant guardant, or (gold or yellow)"
Titles and positions
Earliest holdings
The general impression given by the known appearances of William and his relatives in contemporary documents, is that his own family origins lay in the modern county of Cumbria, especially Coupland in western Cumberland, Furness in the Lake District, The Barony of Kendal, which became part of Westmorland, and various areas such as Barton between Kendal and Ullswater, also in Westmorland.
Because of the surname he took up he is better remembered for the power he later wielded in Lancashire, near to the above areas, but just to the south of modern Cumbria.
The following are areas associated with him...
Muncaster in Cumberland. According to William Farrer, in his 1902 edition of Lancashire Pipe Rolls and early charters, p. 305, "It appears that he was possessed of the lordship of Mulcaster (now Muncaster), over the Penningtons of Pennington in Furness, and under Robert de Romilly, lord of Egremont and Skipton, who held it in right of his wife, Cecilia, daughter and heiress of William de Meschines."
According to Farrer, this title would have been one of those granted by Roger de Mowbray, son of Nigel de Albini, having come into his hands after the decease with male heirs of Ivo de Taillebois. He also believes that this grant to William de Lancaster came to be annulled.
Workington, Lamplugh and Middleton. The manors of Workington and Lamplugh in Cumberland were given by William de Lancaster, in exchange for Middleton in Westmorland, to a relative, Gospatric, son of Orme, brother-in-law of Waldeve, Lord of Allerdale. [1]
Hensingham. The Register of St Bees shows that both William and his brother Roger granted land in this area.
Ulverston. See Farrer in "Lancashire Inquests, Extents, and Feudal Aids" who argues that this may have been held by William and perhaps his father Gilbert, before it was granted by Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, to Furness Abbey in 1127. The possible connection of William's father Gilbert to Furness will be discussed further below.
Enfeoffment from Roger de Mowbray
Around 1150, a major enfeoffment by Roger de Mowbray put William in control, or perhaps just confirmed his control, of what would become of the Barony of Kendal, plus Warton, Garstang, and Wyresdale in Lancashire, as well as Horton in Ribblesdale and "Londsdale" - the latter two sometimes apparently being interpreted as indicating possession of at least part of what would become the Wapentake of Ewcross in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
William de Lancaster is often described as having been a Baron of Kendal. In fact this is not so clear. William Farrer wrote, in the Introduction to his Records of Kendal: "After a careful review of the evidence which has been sketched above, the author is of opinion that no barony or reputed barony of Kentdale existed prior to the grants of 1189-90; and that neither William de LANCASTER, son of Gilbert, nor William de LANCASTER II, his son and successor, can be rightly described as 'baron' of Kentdale."
Part of the problem comes from the time he lived in:
Fewer records were kept than later times.
Inheritance rules and other regularities which help us guess what happened in the later Middle Ages were not yet fixed and predictable in their workings.
William lived in a time of turmoil, with two rival claims to the throne of England (Stephen of England and Empress Matilda) and a major period of Scottish rule under David I of Scotland in the Northwest of England where William's holdings were.
What became the Barony of Kendal is generally accepted as having come together under Ivo de Taillebois (d.1194) in the time of William Rufus. And, as will be discussed below, at least in later generations William was depicted by his family as having been a Taillebois. A continuity is therefore often asserted between what Ivo held, and what William later held, despite the fact that William had no known hereditary claim on Kendal. (This is apparently also the reason for the frequent assertion that William held the entire Wapentake of Ewcross, even though it seems that the family of Roger de Mowbray kept hold of at least Burton in Kendal. William held two parts of it, mentioned above, while Ivo had held another, Clapham. The rest is speculation.)
According to Farrer, the Barony of Kendal became a real barony only in the time of William's grand daughter Hawise, who married Gilbert son of Roger fitz Reinfrid. Both he and his son William de Lancaster III, both successors of William de Lancaster I (and possibly of Ivo de Taillebois) were certainly Barons of Kendal.
The Scottish period
Egremont Castle. During the Scottish occupation, according to several websites, William was castellan in the castle of Egremont under William fitz Duncan. Others have suggested that his later enfeoffments and good marriage perhaps suggest that he played a role in leading the fight back against Scotland.
Note that, if it be accepted that William ever held Ewcross in Yorkshire, then it is probably during this period William seems to have lost control of some of them, which were later not in his possession.
Concerning other specific holdings and ranks
Furness and the Forests. According to a later grant to Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid, William must have held some position over the whole forest of Westmarieland (the Northern or Appleby Barony of Westmorland), Kendal and Furness. His claims in Furness may have gone beyond just the forest, but this appears to have put him in conflict with the claims of the Furness Abbey, and this conflict continued over many generations. His family may have had links there before him. Some websites report that his father Gilbert was known as "Gilbert of Furness". (This apparently comes from a 17th century note by Benjamin Ayloffe, mentioned below.)
Lancaster Castle. According to Dugdale, the eminent English antiquarian, he was governor of Lancaster Castle in the reign of Henry II, about 1180. Little is known about how William came to hold the honour of Lancaster and use the surname, but it is sometimes suggested that it implies connections to royalty, perhaps coming from his apparent marriage to Gundred de Warrenne (or was this just yet another reward for some forgotten service, perhaps against the Scots?).
Seneschal. According to a note written by the 17th century antiquarian Benjamin Ayloffe, which is reproduced in the introduction of Walford Selby's collection of Lancashire and Cheshire Records, p.xxix, William was Seneschallus Hospitii Regis, or steward of the king's household. The same note also states that William's father was the kings "Receiver for the County of Lancaster".
Ancestry
Most securely, we can say that William's father was named Gilbert, and his mother was Godith. They are both mentioned clearly in a benefaction of William to St Mary de Pré. Indeed, William was often referred to as William the son of Gilbert.
William was also said to have descended from both Ivo de Taillebois and Eldred of Workington, contemporaries of William Rufus, but the exact nature of the relationship is unclear and indeed controversial. Most likely, the connection is through daughters or illegitimate sons of these two men. Some sources exist, as follows. ..
1. The most widespread account, that Ivo was simply the father Eldred, and Eldred the father (or grandfather) of Gilbert, unfortunately now seems to be wrong, or at least has gone out of favor.
The two authorities for a direct line of father-son descent from Ivo to Eldred to Ketel to Gilbert to William de Lancaster were records made much later in Cockersand Abbey and St Mary·Äôs Abbey in Yorkshire. See for example William Farrer·Äôs comments in 1902: ·ÄúThe Lancashire Pipe Rolls of 31 Henry I., A.D. 1130, and of the Reigns of Henry II., A.D. 1155-1189; Richard I., A.D. 1189-1199; and King John, A.D. 1199-1216·Äù See p.vii (Addenda and Corrigenda) concerning p.389 I.18. Also see what he wrote in 1909: ·ÄúThe Chartulary of Cockersand Abbey of the Premonstratensian Order·Äù See p.305-8.
2. A connection to the Taillebois family, if it was indeed one family, seems to be justifiable as follows. The Coucher Book of Furness Abbey contains a concord (CCVI on pages 344-345 of the edition printed for the Chetham Society in 1887) wherein Helewise, granddaughter and heir of William is party. In the genealogical notice it is claimed that William had been known as William de Tailboys, before receiving the right to be called "Willelmum de Lancastre, Baronem de Kendale". This is the only relatively contemporary evidence for this assertion however, and it is has in fact been argued by John F. Curwen that William was not Baron in Kendal, but rather an under-lord there.
3. Concerning the connection to Eldred, in a Curia Regis Roll item dated 1212, R., 55, m. 6, Helewise and her husband Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid make claims based upon the fact that "Ketel filius Eutret" was an "antecessor" of Helewise. This could mean he was an ancestor, but it could also perhaps merely mean he was a predecessor more generally. More intriguingly, in one charter to St Leonard's York William refers to Ketel, the son of Elred, as his avunculus, which would literally mean "maternal uncle" (but the word was not always used precisely, the more general meaning of uncle might have been intended). (A 1357 charter printed in Ragg 1910 repeats the claim that Ketel son of Aldred was the avunculus of William son of Gilbert.)
Therefore Godith may have been a daughter of Elred of Workington, while Gilbert may have been a relative of Ivo de Taillebois, either through illegitimate sons, or perhaps one of his seeming brothers. There was in any case a Tailboys family present in Westmorland during the 12th century, for example in Cliburn, and these were presumably relatives of William de Lancaster. This family used the personal name Ivo at least once.
Descendants and relatives
William married Gundreda, perhaps his second wife, who was said to be the daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey and Elizabeth of Vermandois. She was the widow of Roger, the Earl of Warwick. Note that King Stephen's son, William, married Gundred's niece, Isabel de Warenne. This implies a very close relationship with the King's party.
William had issue:
Avicia, who married first to William de Peveral, and secondly to Richard de Morville, constable of Scotland.
William, who became William de Lancaster II, and whose legitimate heir Helewise de Lancaster married Gilbert son of Roger Fitz Reinfrid. Many modern Lancasters, especially in Cumbria, appear to descend from his two illegitimate sons, Gilbert and Jordan.
Jordan, who died young, and is mentioned in a benefaction to St Mary de Pré in Leicester. In the same benefaction, William II is also mentioned, apparently an adult.
Agnes who married Alexander de Windsore (Farrer 1906).
Sigrid, married to William the clerk of Garstang. (Farrer 1906).
Perhaps Warine de Lancaster, royal falconer, and ancestor of a family known as "de Lea". The charters concerning Forton in the Cockersand Chartulary say, firstly that William de Lancaster II confirmed a grant made by his father to Warine, father of Henry de Lea, and secondly, in Hugh de Morville's confirmation that this William de Lancaster I was "his uncle" (awnculi sui). Was William Henry's uncle or Warine's? If he was Warine's uncle then the theory is that Warine was the son of an otherwise unknown brother of William de Lancaster I named Gilbert.
Gilbert fitz Reinfrid and Helewise's son William also took up the name de Lancaster, becoming William de Lancaster III. He died without male heirs, heavily indebted - apparently due to payments demanded after he and his father were involved in the Baron's revolt.
William de Lancaster III's half brother Roger de Lancaster of Rydal inherited some of the Lancaster importance. It is thought that Roger was a son of Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid, but not of Helewise de Lancaster. Roger is widely thought to be the ancestor of the Lancasters of Howgill and Rydal in Westmorland. (In fact the line starts with one John de Lancaster of Howgill, whose connection to Roger de Lancaster and his son, John de Lancaster of Grisedale and Stanstead, is unclear except for the fact that he took over Rydal and Grasmere from the latter John.)
The Lancasters of Sockbridge, Crake Trees, Brampton, Dacre, and several other manors in Westmorland and Cumberland, were apparently descended from William de Lancaster II's illegitimate son Gilbert de Lancaster. Many or perhaps all of the old Lancaster families found throughout Cumbria seem to descend from Gilbert and his brother Jordan.
The de Lea family eventually lost power in the time of Thomas de Lancaster, who was a member of the Plantagenet royal family.
Another Lancaster family, in Rainhill in Lancashire, also seems to have claimed descent, given that they used the same coat of arms as Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid and his sons (argent, two bars gules, with a canton of the second, and a "lion of England", either white or gold, in the canton). However the exact nature of the link is unknown. A branch of this family is said to have lived in Herstmonceaux in Sussex in recent centuries.

We now come to the difficult period which covered the reign of Stephen. Fortunately we possess distinct and clear evidence that Stephen, as king, enfeoffed a knight of the lands of Warton in Kentdale and the wide territory of Garstang, in Lancashire, to hold for the service of one knight. This was William de Lancaster, son of Gilbert by Godith his wife, (fn. 2) described in the Inquest of service made in 1212 as "Willelmus filius Gilberti primus," (fn. 3) that is, the first to be enfeoffed of that fee.
About the same time Roger de Mowbray, who was of age about the year 1140, enfeoffed the same William of all the grantor's land of Lonsdale, Kentdale and Horton in Ribblesdale, to hold by the service of four knights. (fn. 4) The date of this charter is indeterminate, but it was certainly issued during the period 1145·Äì1154. It did not continue effective for very long.
During the greater part of Stephen's reign, Cumberland, Westmarieland, and probably Kentdale and Lancashire as far south as the Ribble, were in the hands of David of Scotland. A few of his charters of confirmation of this period relating to these regions have come down to us in monastic chartularies. (fn. 5)
Whilst under his rule all Westmarieland was granted to Hugh de Morevill, whom Sir Archibald C. Lawrie describes as David's "life-long friend." (fn. 6) He was constable of Scotland during the latter part of David's life.
When Henry II came to the throne, in 1154, it is certain that Westmarieland was in Morevill's hands and with it the lordship over the greater part of Kentdale. At that time William de Lancaster no longer held anything in Kentdale of Roger de Mowbray; but he appears to have held his lands in Westmarieland and Kentdale of Morevill by rendering Noutgeld of £14 6s. 3d. per annum, and some 16 carucates of land in nine vills in Kentdale as farmer under Morevill.
In 1166 William de Lancaster I held only two knight's fees, of the new feoffment of Roger de Mowbray in Sedbergh, Thornton, Burton in Lonsdale, and the other places in Yorkshire previously named, which his descendants held long after of the fee of Mowbray by the same service.
The Mowbray connexion with Kentdale had come to an end upon the accession of Henry II, who placed Hugh de Morevill in possession of Westmarieland in return, possibly, for past services and in pursuance of the policy of planting his favourites in regions of great strategic importance. Probably the change of paramount lord had little, if any, effect on the position of William de Lancaster in Kentdale.

William was also called Willelm.
Willelm filius Gilberti, Baron Kendal of Workington, served as castellan of William FitzDuncan's castle of Egremont in 1138.
He married Gundred de Warenne, daughter of Guillaume II de Varennes, 2nd Earl of Surrey and Isabel de Vermandois, between 1153 and 1156.

WILLIAM [I] "Taillebois" de Lancaster, son of GILBERT & his wife Goditha --- (-after 1166).¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire records that ·ÄúGilbertus [genuit] Will; qui quidem Willielmus fecit se vocari Willielmum de Lancaster...baronem de Kendale·Äù[303].¬â€  ·ÄúWillielmus filius Ranulphi·Äù confirmed the foundation of St Bee·Äôs priory, Cumberland by undated charter, dated to [1105/20], which refers to donations by ·ÄúWillielmus filius Gilberti de Lancastria·Äù[304].¬â€  "Willelmus filius Ranulfi" confirmed the donation of land "de Swartahof" donated by "Willelmus filius Gilberti de Lancastre" to St Bees by undated charter[305].¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire names ·ÄúWillielmum de Lancaster·Äù as son of ·ÄùGilbertus·Äù[306].¬â€  A charter of King Henry II confirmed the donation to Furness by ·ÄúWillilemum filium Gilberti·Äù also named ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù[307].¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated property to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et h√¶redis et Gundred√¶ uxoris me√¶", by charter dated to [1153/56][308].¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated pasture rights in "feodum meum in Lonisdale et in Aumundernesse" to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et heredis et Gundree uxoris mee", for the souls of "·Ä¶Gilberti patris mei et Godithe matris mee et Jordani filii mei et Margarete filia Comitisse", by charter dated to [1156/60], witnessed by "Willelmo filio meo et herede, Gundr fil Comitisse·Ä¶"[309].¬â€  Lord of Kendale and Lonsdale in Westmoreland in 1166[310].¬â€  A charter of King Henry II records that ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù married ·ÄúGundredam comitissam Warwic·Äù[311].¬â€ 
[m firstly ---.¬â€  No direct proof has been found of this supposed first marriage.¬â€  However, assuming that Hawise, wife of Richard de Moreville, was the daughter of William [I] de Lancaster, she must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage, given the estimated birth date of William·Äôs known wife Gundred de Warenne.]¬â€ 
m [secondly] ([Jun 1153/1156]) as her second husband, GUNDRED de Warenne, widow of ROGER de Beaumont Earl of Warwick, daughter of WILLIAM [II] de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his wife Elisabeth de Vermandois [Capet] ([1120 or after]-after 1166).¬â€  Guillaume of Jumi√®ges records that ·ÄùWalerannus et Robertus...mater eorum·Äù married secondly after the death of her first husband ·Äúsecundo Willelmo de Warenna comiti Surrei√¶·Äù by whom she had ·ÄúWillelmum tertium et duas filias·Äù of whom ·Äúfiliarum...primogenitam·Äù married ·Äúcomes Rogerus de Warwic·Äù[312].¬â€  Robert of Torigny names "Gondrada sorore uterine Galeranni comitis Mellenti" as wife of "Rogero comite Warwicensi"[313].¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire records that ·ÄúWillielmum de Lancaster·Äù married ·ÄùGundredam prius comitissam de Warwyke·Äù[314].¬â€  Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter of King Henry II which records that ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù married ·ÄúGundredam comitissam Warwic·Äù and that she was the mother of his son William[315].¬â€  Her marriage date is dictated by the death of her first husband, recorded in Jun 1153.¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated property to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et h√¶redis et Gundred√¶ uxoris me√¶", by charter dated to [1153/56][316].¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated pasture rights in "feodum meum in Lonisdale et in Aumundernesse" to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et heredis et Gundree uxoris mee", for the souls of "·Ä¶Gilberti patris mei et Godithe matris mee et Jordani filii mei et Margarete filia Comitisse", by charter dated to [1156/60], witnessed by "Willelmo filio meo et herede, Gundr fil Comitisse·Ä¶"[317].¬â€  Farrer has suggested that the wording of this last document indicates that the wife of William de Lancaster was the daughter of Countess Gundred rather than the countess herself, suggesting that the latter must have been "well advanced in years" at the time of the marriage and implying that she would therefore have been past child-bearing age[318].¬â€  It is correct that the wording of the document is curious as it appears inconsistent with both possibilities: if Gundred was "Comitisse", one would expect the first part of the document to read "Gundree Comitisse uxoris mee"; on the other hand, if she was Gundred the daughter, one would expect the subscription to read "Gundr fil Comitisse ux mee".¬â€  The two names which are quoted above in the subscription list of the document dated to [1156/60] precede the subscribers who held religious positions.¬â€  It would therefore be normal for them to be the same persons who are named in the body of the document, in the same order, giving their consent to the transaction.¬â€  However, it is difficult to adopt an interpretation which contradicts the three different sources quoted above (Robert de Torigny, the undated manuscript, and the charter of King Henry II) which identify the countess as William·Äôs wife.¬â€ 
William [I] & his [first] wife had one child:¬â€ 
1.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  HAWISE de Lancaster (-after [1188/89]).¬â€  "Ricardus de Morevill constabularius regis Scottie" donated "totam terram de Blanesleye" to Melrose abbey, with the consent of "Willi de Morevill filii et heredis mei", for the souls of "mee et·Ä¶uxoris mee Auicie et Willi filii mei", by undated charter[319].¬â€  "Will de Morev" confirmed the donation of "totam terram de Bleyneslei" to Melrose abbey, made by "pater meus Ric de Moreuill", for the souls of "mee et·Ä¶uxoris mee", by undated charter witnessed by "Ric de Morv patre meo, Auice de Loncastre matre·Ä¶"[320].¬â€  There is uncertainty surrounding this "Hawise de Lancaster".¬â€  Her marriage to William Peveril is confirmed by the undated charter under which ·ÄúAvisia de Lancastria, uxor Willielmi Peverel·Äù donated property to Derley Priory by undated charter[321].¬â€  Her marriage to Richard de Moreville is confirmed by the 1169/70 Pipe Roll which records "Ric de Moreuill" owing ".cc. m p recto hndo de tra q clamat c filia Willi de Lancastr" in Lancashire[322].¬â€  The primary source which confirms that the widow of William Peverel was the same person who remarried Richard de Morville has not yet been identified.¬â€  There is also a difficulty concerning Hawise·Äôs parentage.¬â€  Domesday Descendants states that the wife of Richard de Morville was the daughter of William de Lancaster (no corresponding primary source cited)[323].¬â€  As can be seen from the chronology of William de Lancaster·Äôs known wife Gundred de Warenne, this affiliation would only be possible if Hawise had been born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage.¬â€  On the other hand, the onomastics are favourable for this affiliation, as each succeeding generation of the "de Lancaster" family included a Hawise de Lancaster.¬â€  A different affiliation is suggested by the Complete Peerage which speculates that the wife of William Peverel was Hawise, daughter of Roger de Montgommery Lord of Lancaster & his wife Almodis Ctss de la Marche[324].¬â€  This is not an ideal fit.¬â€  Her supposed father Roger was banished from England in 1102 and retired to La Marche, so it is unclear why Hawise would have been described as ·Äúde Lancastria·Äù in a charter which must have been dated about 40 years later.¬â€  In any case, the chronology is unfavourable.¬â€  It is unlikely that the wife of Roger de Montgommery, Almodis de la Marche, was born much later than 1070, given the known chronology of her family, which means that her children would have been born before 1110 at the latest.¬â€  On the other hand, it is likely that William Peverel·Äôs second marriage should be dated to the early 1140s at the earliest, as his first wife is named in one of the charters of Stephen King of England (who succeeded in 1135).¬â€  Such a marriage date is late if his second wife was born in the early 1100s, and impossible assuming that his widow was the same person who married Richard de Morville and had children by him in the late 1150s.¬â€  ·ÄúHelewis filia Willelmi de Lancastr·Äù confirmed to ·ÄúGileberto fratri meo...terras quas pater meus·Äù had given him ·ÄúSlegil...et Sockebroc et Tyrerhge...et totam terram de Paterickedale·Äù by charter dated to [1189], witnessed by ·Äú......Roberto de Pinkenei...Gervas de Aencurt...·Äù[325].¬â€  "Avicia de Lonc spouse of Richard de Morevilla, with the consent of William her heir and her other heirs" confirmed a donation to Furness St. Mary by charter dated to [1188/89][326].¬â€  m firstly as his second wife, WILLIAM Peverel of Nottingham, son of WILLIAM Peverel & his wife Adeline ([1100/05]-after 1155).¬â€  m secondly RICHARD de Moreville, son of HUGH de Morville & his wife Beatrice de Beauchamp (-1189).¬â€ 
William [I] & his [first/second] wife had one child:¬â€ 
2.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  JORDAN (-before [1156/60]).¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated pasture rights in "feodum meum in Lonisdale et in Aumundernesse" to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et heredis et Gundree uxoris mee", for the souls of "·Ä¶Gilberti patris mei et Godithe matris mee et Jordani filii mei et Margarete filia Comitisse", by charter dated to [1156/60], witnessed by "Willelmo filio meo et herede, Gundr fil Comitisse·Ä¶"[327].¬â€  There is no indication of Jordan·Äôs age when he died, which means that no data is available to indicate whether he was born from William·Äôs first or second marriage.¬â€ 
William [I] & his [second] wife had one child:¬â€ 
3.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  WILLIAM [II] de Lancaster ([1154/56]-1184, bur Furness Abbey).¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire names ·ÄúWillielmus de Lancaster secundus·Äù as son of ·ÄùWillielmum de Lancaster·Äù[328].¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated property to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et h√¶redis et Gundred√¶ uxoris me√¶", by charter dated to [1153/56][329].¬â€  "Willelmus de Lancastre" donated pasture rights in "feodum meum in Lonisdale et in Aumundernesse" to Leicester, St Mary de Pr√©, with the consent of "Willelmi filii mei et heredis et Gundree uxoris mee", for the souls of "·Ä¶Gilberti patris mei et Godithe matris mee et Jordani filii mei et Margarete filia Comitisse", by charter dated to [1156/60], witnessed by "Willelmo filio meo et herede, Gundr fil Comitisse·Ä¶"[330].¬â€  A charter of King Henry II confirmed the donation to Furness by ·ÄúWillielmum filium Gilberti·Äù and names ·ÄúWillielmum secundum·Äù as son of ·Äúprimus Willielmum de Lancaster, baronem de Kendale, qui prius vocabatur de Tailboys·Äù and his wife ·ÄúGundredam comitissam Warwic·Äù[331].¬â€  If this charter is correct in identifying William·Äôs mother, William must have been an infant when he "consented" to the donations of his father in the charters dated to [1153/56] and [1156/60] which are quoted above.¬â€  An alternative possibility is that the William who is named in the two charters was an older son, by his father·Äôs presumed first marriage, who died soon afterwards and before the birth of a second son named William born to his father·Äôs second wife.¬â€  It should be noted that the chronology of the family of William·Äôs wife, Helwise de Stuteville, is consistent with her husband having been born in [1154/56].¬â€  "Willelmus filius Willelmi de Lancastre" confirmed the donations of "villam de Helsingham cum terra de Walton" to St Bees made by "Rogerus filius Gilberti" by undated charter[332].¬â€  ·ÄúWillielmus de Lancastre·Äù donated property to Furness Abbey, for the soul of ·ÄúAgnetis spons√¶ me√¶·Äù by charter dated 6 Nov 1240 which records that ·Äúavi mei·Ä¶Willielmi de Lancastre·Äù was buried in the abbey[333].¬â€  m as her first husband, HELWISE de Stuteville, daughter of ROBERT [III] de Stuteville & his wife Helwise --- (-after [1226/28]).¬â€  Domesday Descendants names Helwise as the younger daughter of Robert [III] de Stuteville[334].¬â€  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire records that ·ÄúWillielmus de Lancaster secundus·Äù married ·ÄùHelewisiam·Äù[335].¬â€  A charter of King Henry II records that ·ÄúWillielmum secundum·Äù married ·ÄúHelewisam de Stuteville·Äù by whom he was father of ·ÄúHelewisam·Äù who married ·ÄúGilberto filio Rogeri filii Reynfredi·Äù[336].¬â€  She married secondly Hugh de Morville.¬â€  "Hug de Morevill et Helew uxor eius" paid a fine relating to "dote ipsi Helewis" in Westmoreland, dated 1200[337].¬â€  The co-identity of the widow of William [II] de Lancaster with the wife of Hugh de Morville is confirmed by the following charter: ·ÄúHugo de Morwile·Äù, with the consent of ·Äúspons√¶ me√¶ Helewis√¶·Äù, confirmed ·Äútotam Fortonam·Äù [referring to the same land granted by the first charter], to [his son] ·ÄúHenrico de Lancastre·Äù which ·Äúpater eius Warinus·Äù had received from ·ÄúWillelmi de Lancastre awnculi sui·Äù, by undated charter[338].¬â€  "William Briewere and Helewisa de Stuteville, defendant" reached agreement "regarding the admeasurements of her dower from Hugh de Moreville her late husband" relating to ·Äúthe manor of Chircoswarde and the manor of Lesingebi...the manor of Hisale·Äù, dated to [1204][339].¬â€  The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Yorkshire, dated 1219, which includes "Helewisa de Stutevill" holding land[340]. ¬â€ William [II] & his wife had one child:¬â€ 
a)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  HAWISE de Lancaster .¬â€  An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire names ·ÄúHelewisia·Äù as daughter of ·ÄúWillielmus de Lancaster secundus·Äù and his wife, adding that she married ·ÄùGilbert filium Raynfridi·Äù[341].¬â€  Henry II King of England granted "filiam Willelmi de Lancastre cum tota h√¶reditate sua" to "Gilleberto filio Rogeri filii Rainfridi, dapifero nostro" by charter dated to [1184/89][342].¬â€  A charter of King Henry II names ·ÄúHelewisam·Äù as daughter of ·ÄúWillielmum secundum·Äù and his wife ·ÄúHelewisam de Stuteville·Äù, adding that she married ·ÄúGilberto filio Rogeri filii Reynfredi·Äù[343].¬â€  ·ÄúGilbertus filius Reinfredi et Elewisa uxor eius·Äù donated various churches to Wetherhal priory by undated charter[344].¬â€  m ([1184/89]) GILBERT FitzRoger FitzReinfrid Lord of Kendal, son of ROGER FitzReinfrid & his wife --- (-[1216/20]).¬â€ 
William [II] had two illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:¬â€ 
b)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  GILBERT de Lancaster ([1174/84]-before 1220).¬â€  ·ÄúWillms de Loncastre·Äù donated ·Äúmedietatem manerii de Socbrige·Äù, which ·ÄúHuctred filius [Ketelli]·Äù held from ·Äúpatre meo·Äù, to ·ÄúGiliberto filio meo·Äù by undated charter, witnessed by ·Äúdomina Helewisa sponsa mea, Helesio de Stivetona, Willimo de Loncastr, Gervasio de Ainecurta...·Äù[345].¬â€  Gilbert·Äôs illegitimacy is confirmed because he was not his father·Äôs heir, unless he had been disinherited by his father for some reason as yet unascertained.¬â€ 
-¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  see below.¬â€ 
c)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  JORDAN .¬â€  Andrew Lancaster notes that Jordan was named in ·Äúmany charters with his father·Äù and provides information about his possible descendants who fall outside the scope of Medieval Lands, supported by primary source evidence[346].¬â€ 
William [I] had one [possibly illegitimate] child by [an unknown mistress]:¬â€ 
4.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  WARIN de Lancaster (-before [1190/94]).¬â€  Warin·Äôs parentage is indicated by reading two charters together.¬â€  Firstly, ·ÄúWillelmus de Lonecastre filius Willelmi de Lonecastre·Äù [William [II] de Lancaster] confirmed land ·Äúde Heshkebec...·Äù to ·ÄúWarino de Lancastre·Äù by undated charter[347].¬â€  Farrer dates this charter to before 1170[348].¬â€  Secondly, ·ÄúHugo de Morwile·Äù, with the consent of ·Äúspons√¶ me√¶ Helewis√¶·Äù, confirmed ·Äútotam Fortonam·Äù [referring to the same land granted by the first charter], to [his son] ·ÄúHenrico de Lancastre·Äù which ·Äúpater eius Warinus·Äù had received from ·ÄúWillelmi de Lancastre awnculi sui·Äù, by undated charter[349].¬â€  William [II] de Lancaster was therefore ·Äúavunculus·Äù of Warin·Äôs son Henry.¬â€  Warin·Äôs illegitimacy is suggested by William [II] not referring to him as ·Äúfrater·Äù in the first charter quoted above, and by the chronology (Warin, as younger brother of William [II], would have been young to have received grants under the first charter if that is correctly dated to 1170).¬â€  ·ÄúWarinus de Lancastre·Äù donated ·Äúquartam partem...terr√¶ in Lehe·Äù to Cockersand, for the soul of King Henry II, by undated charter[350]. ¬â€ "Johannes Comes Moreton" confirmed "terras·Ä¶Ravenesmeles, Ainuluesdale, Vplitherland, Liuerpul, et Le Franceis", granted by "Rex Henricus pater meus" to "Warino patri suo", to "Henrico, filio Warini de Lancastre" by charter dated to [1190/94][351].¬â€  m ---.¬â€  The name of Warin·Äôs wife is not known.¬â€  Warin & his wife had one child:¬â€ 
a)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  HENRY de Lee [Lancaster] (-before 1240).¬â€  "Johannes Comes Moreton" confirmed "terras·Ä¶Ravenesmeles, Ainuluesdale, Vplitherland, Liuerpul, et Le Franceis", granted by "Rex Henricus pater meus" to "Warino patri suo", to "Henrico, filio Warini de Lancastre" by charter dated to [1190/94][352].¬â€  Three generations of his descendants are set out by William Farrer (editor of the Cockersand cartulary), with references to primary source documentation[353].¬â€  A discussion of Lea (from which Henry·Äôs surname derived) is included in the Victoria County History of Lancaster[354].¬â€ 
¬â€ 
¬â€ 
The precise relationships between the following individuals and the main Lancaster family have not been ascertained, although it is likely that they were other illegitimate children or descendants of such children.¬â€
