   Parents
   
   Her mother was Adelaide of Normandy, the sister of William the conqueror. Adelaide was married three times:
   •Enguerrand of Ponthieu, lord of Aumale
   •Lambert, count of Eu, brother of Eustace of Boulogne
   •Eudo of Champagne
   
   Adelaide has traditionally been seen as daughter of the second husband Lambert, as she is described this way in one source, but in recent times Enguerrand is sometimes considered a serious contender. According to Williams for example, "The Vita Waldevi makes Judith Lambert's daughter, but she may have been the child of Enguerrand of Ponthieu".[1] (The idea seems to go back to Thomas Stapleton, who however eventually changed his mind back to Lambert.[2])
   
   Husbands and child
   
   She was married about 1070 to Earl Waltheof.[3]
   
   The fact that she was such an important Norman heiress, shows that King William wanted the services of the man who she was given to in marriage, the Anglo-Saxon earl Waltheof. His family had been Earls in Bamburgh, and even under the Normans they held a large fief which largely in Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire and Leicestershire in the midlands, extending east into Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and south into Bedfordshire.[1]
   
   Waltheof was executed for treason in 1076, for being part of the so-called revolt of the Three Earls. Keats-Rohan writes that "Judith was one of his accusers, but after his death she arranged for him to be honorably buried at Crowland abbey".[3]
   
   Complete Peerage notes in a footnote that there is a tradition that the King had first assigned the Countess Judith to him as wife to Simon St Liz, later her daughter's husband, "and on her refusal (on account of Simon’s lameness) gave him ]udith’s counties. ]udith fled for hiding to the Ely marches, taking her daughters with her".[4]
