p.450 Robert de Essex
"Father also of Gunnor de Essex, who occurs in a dispute with the Valognes family over property of Binham (Mon. Ang. iii, 348)".
Gunnor de Essex was the daughter of Henry de Essex by Cecilia de Valognes (see p.449/450). There was no dispute with the Valognes family. Instead Agnes de Valognes had settled land on Gunnora, her granddaughter, in Cambridgeshire to provide for her following the confiscation of de Essex family estates. Part of this gift, land in Westley, originally belonging to Ely, was transferred to Binham priory, which issued a confirmation charter of Agnes' grant.
