“The eldest son, Richard de Greinville, de Grenvilla, or de Grenvil (for so the name is variously spelt), married Adelina, daughter of Robert de Bellemont, Earl of Mellent in France and first Earl of Leicester in England, by Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh the Great, Earl of Vermandois, son of King Henry of France. She was the widow of Hugh Montfort.[1]
“This Richard, like his father, became a crusader….Of these holy wars, none had been announced with greater ostentation, … none ended in such total and deplorable disaster. At least thirty thousand lives were sacrificed, and there was not even the consolation of one glorious deed achieved. Among those that perished was Richard de Granville, 1147.”[2]
