From Wikipedia: was a favourite of Empress Matilda and a loyal supporter of her in the war against King Stephen, during which he earned the epithet of the "Scourge of the West". William was the son of William de Moion, who was seigneur of Moyon which is close to Saint-Lô. The elder William was sheriff of Somerset in 1084.
During the war between Matilda and Stephen, Stephen marched against Mohun's castle at Dunster, but finding it too hard to take, he left Henry de Tracy to keep Mohun under siege.
Empress Matilda conferred upon him the title Earl of Somerset, in 1141. In the foundation charter of the priory at Bruton, he describes himself as "Willielmus de Moyne, comes Somersetensis". Unlike Baldwin de Redvers who was created Earl of Devon by Matilda at around the same time, William's title was not recognised by Stephen or Henry II, Matilda's son, and his descendants did not use the title.
William married Agnes de Gaunt, daughter of Walter de Gaunt and Maud of Brittany, daughter of Stephen, Count of Tréguier.
Baron of Dunster, Chief Justice of Common Pleas, 6th Baron, Governor of Saubey Castle, 5th Lord of Dunster, Justice of Common Pleas, Chief Justice, Earl of Somers.

Hawise died by 1243 when he married Isabel de Ferres, the daughter of William de Ferrers and Sibyl Marshal, the daughter of Sir William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, and childless widow of Sir Gilbert Basset. They had no children.
Reynold was a minor at his father's death in 1213, his wardship was granted to Henry FitzCount, and on Henry's death in 1222, to William Briwere, his grandfather. Reynold was given livery of his land by 1227 when he became a knight. Reynold accompanied King Henry III on his French expedition in 1230 and to Wales in 1231. In 1242 he was given two good ships in order to follow the King across the sea to Gascony. In April of that year he was appointed Chief Justice of the Forests South of Trent, and made governor of Saubey Castle, Leicestershire. He served in the expedition into Wales in 1245, and in 1246, he founded the abbey of Newenham at Axminster.
Sir Reynold was a benefactor of the houses of Bruton, Barlinch and Cleeve. In 1252, he was appointed keeper of the royal forests South of Trent, with 100 marks for maintenance, and keeper, during pleasure of Sauvey Castle, Leicester. In 1253, he had grants of free warren at Dunster, Whichford and Ottery, and licence to hunt hare, fox, cat and badger in Somerset and one other county.

Bio by Anne for Findagrave
Knight, 1st Baron Monthermer, Earl of Hertford, Earl of Gloucester, Earl of Atholl. Keeper of Cardiff Castle, Guardian and Lieutenant in Scotland, Warden of the Royal Forests south of Trent. In right of his first wife, of Tonbridge, Kent. Unknown parentage.
Husband of Joan of Acre, married early 1297 in secret. They had two sons and one daughter and one stillborn child:
* Sir Thomas, 2nd Lord Monthermer, slain at the Battle of Sluys
* Sir Edward, died as a young man of illness
* Mary, who married Duncan of Fife
There is some debate regarding a second wife. .
Per Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Carta Ancestry: Joan died in 1307, and Ralph married secondly before 20 Nov 1318 to Isabel le Despenser, daughter of Sir Hugh le Despenser, and Isabel de Beauchamp. She was the widow of Sir Gilbert de Clare who died in 1307 and Sir John Hastings who died in 1313.
Ralph was employed in the household of Sir Gilbert de Clare (1243-1295) and Joan of Acre. When Gilbert died, Ralph and Joan married, which enraged her father, King Edward I, who imprisoned Ralph in Bristol Castle, and Edward seized all of Joan's lands. As per the St Albans chronicler, she told her father, "No one sees anything wrong if a great earl marries a poor and lowly woman. Why should there be anything wrong if a countess marries a young and promising man?" Anthony Bec, the Bishop of Durham helped to end the feud, and her lands were restored to her on 31 July 1297. The king then became very attached to his new son-in-law.
Ralph was summoned to Parliament as the Earl of Gloucester and Hertford while his step son, Gilbert, was still a minor, to be returned to the boy upon Joan's death. He served with the King's overseas expeditions and against the Scots, fought at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, and was at the siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Baron's letter to Pope Boniface in 1301.
In 1306, Ralph warned Robert de Brus who was then at the English courts that Edward had intentions to arrest Robert the following day. His warning was a twelve pence and a pair of spurs, sent as if to repay a loan. Robert understood the hint, he and his squire left for Scotland immediately.
Joan died in childbirth with their fourth, stillborn child 07 April 1307, buried with the babe in the Austin Friars at Clare, Suffolk.
Ralph was again summoned to Parliament in 10809 to 1324 as Raulpho de Monte Hermerii. In 1309, he was granted the manors of Stokenham, Oakford, Pyworthy and Sterte, Devon, and Hunton, Hampshire. He fought at Bannockburn in 1314, but taken prisoner, and released by Robert de Brus without ransom for Ralph's assistance in 1306, but not before entertaining Ralph at his table. Sir Marmaduke Tweng was also captured, entertained and released with Ralph.
In 1315 Ralph was given permission for a pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain.
Regarding the marriage of Ralph de Montermer and Isabel Despenser as documented in Douglas Richardson's books:
There were two Hugh Despensers who died the same year, father and son:
Hugh the elder: 1st & last Earl Winchester, 01 Mar 1261 to 27 Oct 1326, son of Hugh 1st Lord Despense and Aliva Basset, married Isabella Beauchamp, children Aline, Isabel, Hugh. See peerage file 10761
Hugh the younger: 1st Lord Despenser, circa 1290 to 29 Nov 1326, son of the above, married Eleanor de Clare, daughter of Gilbert & Joan of Acre. Children Eliz, Edw, Eleanor, Hugh, Isabel. See peerage file 1943
* Ralph de Monthermer married Joan of Acre after Gilbert died, then Isabel Despenser, daughter of Hugh the older. ??
* Isabel, daughter of Hugh the older had previously been married to another Gilbert de Clare (son of Thomas and Juliane) died 1307 and John de Hastings died 1313 ??
Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet and Magna Carta both state the above with sources
Peerage has marriage to Hastings only and her death date agrees with Richardson, and Gilbert, son of Thomas and Juliane but no wife.
Peerage has Ralph's marriage to Joan but not Isabel, McBride as well
McBride has Gilbert de Clare, son of Gilbert marrying Eleanor, dtr of Hugh the elder, possibly led to confusion?
McBride has Thomas and Juliane but no son Gilbert
McBride has Isabel, dtr of Hugh the elder married to Hastings
Sir John de Mowbray b 1310
3rd Lord Mowbray, Baron of Axholme, Lincolnshire, Baron of Bramber, Sussex, lord of Gower in Wales, Keeper of Berwick-Upon-Tweed.
Only son and heir to Sir John de Mowbray and Aline de Brewes. grandson of Sir Roger de Mowbray and Rose de Clare, William de Brewse and Agnes.
Husband of Joan of Lancaster Plantagenet, youngest daughter of Henry of Lancaster and Maud de Chaworth. They were married between 1327 and 1328 and had one son and two daughters: Sir John, 4th Lord Mowbray, Blanche and Eleanor.
Secondly, husband of Elizabeth de Vere, daughter of John, Earl of Oxford and Maud Badlesmere, daughter of Lord Badlesmere. They married before 04 May 1351, the date of their papal dispensation as they were related in the 3rd and 4th degree. John and Elizabeth had no surviving children.
John was baptized at Hoveringham, and betrothed to Maud de Holand, daughter of Sir Robert de Holand and Maud de la Zouche at an early age, but the marriage never took place. After his father's execution in 1322, John was twelve, he and his mother were imprisoned at the Tower of London by the Despensers. When Edward III became King, they were released, their lands and properties returned. John was summoned to Parliament 1327 to 160, and served in the Scottish and French wars.
Sir John was one of the commanders of the English Army at the Battle of Neville's Cross, Durham in 1346, where Lanercost (one of the chroniclers of the times) loudly sang his praises: "He was full of grace and kindness - the conduct both of himself and his men was such as to resound to their perpetual honour." He was also present at the siege of Calais in 1347. In 1354 his title to Gower was contested by Thomas Beauchamp, the Earl of Warwick, and the Court of Common Pleas settled with Warwick. Sir John witnessed the surrender of Balliol of the Scottish crown in favor of Edward in 1356.
John died of the pestilence at York, and was buried at the Church of Friars Minor at Bedford. Elizabeth would remarry to Sir William Cossington of Kent, and she died 16 August 1375.

Husband of Aline de Brewes (or Breuse), daughter and co-heiress of Sir William de Brewes of Wales. They were married married shortly after 29 Nov 1297 at Swansea, Glamorgan, and had one son, Sir John, 3rd Lord Mowbray.
John was knighted at the knighting of Prince Edward on 22 May 1306, and summoned to Parliament from 1307 to 1321. He obtained a grant of markets and fairs at Burton in Lonsdale, Yorkshire in 1307, and summoned to attend the King's coronation February 25th. Again, granted licence for a market at Bramber, Sussex in 1316.
Hugh le Despenser made a claim against John in 1320 that John had 'entered without licence' and asked to king to dispossess John. This led to the confederation of Marcher Lords, headed by the Earl of Hereford, the Mortimers, to join Mowbray against the King's favorites, the destructive Depensers.
John joined the seige at the King's castle at Tickhill, resulting in the loss of his lands as well as his capture and arrest at the Battle of Boroughbridge. He was taken to York and hung on the 23rd of March 1322, and buried at the Friar's Preacher's Priory at York.
His wife Aline and his son, John, were imprisoned in the Tower in February. In 1323, Depsenser released her but forced her to sign over all her rights to her lands granted to her from her father, including the castle and manor of Bramber.
After Edward III became king and the fall of the Despensers, she recovered her inheritances in 1327, and married for a second time, to Sir Richard de Peshale, Sheriff of Salop and Stafford.

Promised William sixty ships along with Montgomery, FitzOsberne, Montfort, Avranches.
WTC gave Roger the middle range of the Welsh marches between England and Wales to defend. Roger based at the Shrewsbury Castle abt 1070 and built Hen Domen Castle near Montgomery, Powys, Wales. Roger took control of Tong Castle as well, founded Pembroke Castle in 1093.
His son, Roger, succeeded him in Normandy, his son Hugh in England.
Son Hugh: Chester, Hugh, Earl of - Also Earl of Avaranches. Also called Hugh Lupus (wolf) and Hugh the Fat. Nephew of William I, sister married Count William d'Eu; daughter, Matilda, married Count Robert of Mortain. Virtual sovereign of Cheshire. Captured Anglesea from the Welsh, 1098; became so fat he could barely crawl; died 1101. Holdings in 20 counties. http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/landowners.html
In the same year Hugh Avaranches is also accused of committing great cruelties
upon the Welsh in the Isle of Anglesea, which he ravaged in conjunction with
Hugh de Montgomeri, Earl of Shrewsbury, who lost his life at that period
in resisting the landing of the Norwegians nnder Magnus III, King of Norway.
The Norse poet tells us the Earl of Shrewsbury was so completely enveloped
in armour that nothing could be seen of his person but one eye. "King Magnus
let fly an arrow at him, as also did a Heligoland man who stood beside the
King. They both shot at once. The one shaft struck the nose-guard of the
helmet, and bent it on one side, the other arrow hit the Earl in the eye
and passed through his head, and this arrow was found to be the King's."
Giraldus Cambrensis gives a similar account, adding some few details, such
as the derisive exclamation of Magnus, "Leit loupe! " -- "Let him leap!"
as the Earl sprang from the saddle when struck, and fell dead into the sea.
This Earl of Shrewsbury was called by the Welsh "Goch," or "the Red," from
the colour of his hair. http://genealogy.patp.us/conq/avranche.shtml
Known as Roger the Great de Montgomery, son of another Roger de Montgomerie, who was a relative, probably a grandnephew, of the duchess Gunnor, wife of duke Robert I of Normandy, was the first earl of Shrewsbury. The elder Roger had large holdings in central Normandy, chiefly in the valley of the Dives, which the younger Roger inherited.
Roger was one of William the Conqueror's principal counselors. He did not fight in the initial invasion of England in 1066, instead staying behind to help govern Normandy. Afterwards he was entrusted with land in two places critical for the defense of England, receiving the Rape of Arundel at the end of 1067 (or in early 1068), and in November 1071 he was created Earl of Shrewsbury. (A few historians believe that while he received the Shropshire territories in 1071 he was not created earl until a few years later.)
Roger was thus one of the half a dozen greatest magnates in England during William the Conqueror's reign. In addition to the large part of Sussex included in the Rape of Arundel, and seven-eights of Shropshire which were associated with the earldom of Shrewsbury, he had estates in Surrey, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire.
After Williams's death in 1087, Roger had joined with other rebels to overthrow the newly crowned king William Rufus in the Rebellion of 1088. However William was able to convince Roger to abandon the rebellion and side with the king, which was fortuitious as the rebels were beaten and lost their land holdings in England. Roger first married Mabel of Bêlleme, who was heiress to a large territory on both sides of the border between Normandy and Maine. By her he had 10 children.
Roger then married Adelaide de Le Puiset, by whom he had one son, Everard, who entered the Church.
After his death, Roger's estates were divided. The eldest surviving son, Robert, received the bulk of the Norman estates (as well as his mother's estates); the next son, Hugh, received the bulk of the English estates and the earldom of Shrewsbury. After Hugh's death the elder son Robert inherited the earldom.

Count Roger of Poitou, was third son of the great Earl Roger de Montgomery II, the seignior of Mont gomerii in the arrondisement of Lisieux in Normandy. Roger of Poitou (sometimes Pictavencis, Pictavis or, in the West Riding, known as Roger le Poitevin). He was granted extensive and rich holdings in Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire were grants made by Duke William of Normandy in reward for his father's, Roger de Montgomery's assistance at the Battle of Hastings. Roger de Montgomery II was in command of a wing at the Battle of Hastings, but returned to Normandy with Queen Matilda, and the young Duke Robert as Duke William's representative. He became head of the council that governed the Duchy of Normandy in Duke William's absence in England. The Norman Montgomery family ancestry was closely interwoven either by blood or marriage with the Duchy of Normandy. Roger de Montgomery had four sons. Eldest was Robert, Count of Alencon, and his successor in Normandy. He was followed by Hugh, who inherited the Earldom of Arundel, Chichester and Shrewsbury, the life custodian of the main family domains granted in England. These would eventually go to Robert in 1098, purchased from William Rufus for 3000 pounds. Next youngest was Count Roger de Poitou who was made the first Earl of Lancaster by Duke William of Normandy, a less maganamious grant which befitted the third youngest son. Philip, the youngest, remained in Normandy and accompanied Duke Robert on the first crusade to the Holy land, and died there in 1094.http://www.infokey.com/Domesday/Derbyshire.htm
Since over 90% of the lordships and manors of Shropshire were held in Chief at the Domesday by the powerful Earl Roger, it is perhaps more interesting to determine the intricate cross-weave of under tenants of Norman nobles who assisted in the administration of these domains. Surprisingly, very little of Shropshire was retained by the King as his own land, and very little given to the Churches and Bishops as was the usual procedure. Nevertheless, we are here dealing with the Domesday Book record, 20 years after the Conquest. In the intervening period, Earl Roger, who must by Domesday have been a very old man, and his son Robert, may well have grown and consolidated the original grants after the Conquest to a sizeable mini-kingdom on the Welsh border, particularly since the domains were constantly changing, shifting, accomodating the intrusions and wasting by the Welsh, and imposing great flexibility in the border boundaries. Almost all of Derbyshire was held by Earl Roger but we have listed some of the interesting under-tenants who held Castles, lordships or villages for him and some which he still held as tenant-in-chief:
Montgomery held Alveley Baschurch Berwick(Shrewsbury) Cheney Longville Chetton Chirbury Claverley Corfham Culmington Donington Dudston Eardington Edenhope Edgmond Ellesmere Fenemere Ford High Ercall Hockleton Hodnet Kingsmordley Leebotwood Loppington Lydham Minsterley Montford Morville Netley Oswestry Poynton Pulley Quatford Quatt Rhiston Romsley Rorrington Rowton Rudge Ruyton Shavington Shawbury Shifnall Shipley Shrewsbury Siefton Smethcott Spoonley Stottesdon Stretton The Marsh Tong Tuange Walcot Wellington Whittingslow Whittington Wilderley Wistanstow Withington Woodcote(Newport) Wotherton Wrockwardine Ackley Aston Basley Churchstoke
The Norman upper heirarchy was not large. This elite group consisted of 22 honours or baronies which virtually controlled all of Normandy and contributed largely to Duke William and the invasion and Conquest of England. They were the Counts of Aumale, the Mortimers, the Giffards, the Ferrierers, the Counts d'Eu, the Tosnys, the Bisets, the FitzOsberns, the Warrens, the Marmions, the Grantmesnils, the Malets, the FitzGilberts or Baldwins, the Tancarvilles, the Vernons, the Beaumonts, the Paynels, the Aubignys, the Monforts, the Estouvilles, the Bisets, and the Gournays. These houses, or their offshoots, or lesser houses, would play an important role in English history for the next 3 centuries, and give rise to thousands of distinguished surnames throughout Britain. To the observant, it will be noticed that certain other significants familes are missing from this role of honour such as the Baliols, the Bigots, the Bullys, the de Lacys, the Mandevilles, the Mowbrays, the Montgomerys, the Pomeroys, the Percys, the St.Johns, the Tracys, the Skiptons, the Montfichets, and many others. The circumstances of the latter names and their subsequent rise to fame are variable and complex, and are bound up with the Norman protocols from which surnames emerged either in Normandy itself or later in the settlement of England From http://www.infokey.com/Domesday/Shropshire.htm

Alice Montacute (1305-) m. Ralph Daubeney
Seigneur de Chevreuse, Lord of Chateaufort; founded the Abbey at Longpont. Chatelain de Rochefort-en-Yvelines. The family home was the castle built in the 11th century to replace an older castle, built from 991 to 1015. It was the site of a number of battles between the lords of Montlhéry and the French monarchy.
In 1118, after many disputes with the rebellious lords, Louis VI of France ordered the castle to be dismantled, except for the tower, and turned the town into a royal residence. Louis VI had himself been married to a granddaughter of Guy I, Lucienne of Rochefort, from 1104 to 1107.
The Montlhéry noble house was related to the Montmorency family; Thibaud, the founder of the Montlhéry dynasty, was the brother of Bouchard II, the progenitor of the Montmorency house. Thibaud ruled from 970 to 1031 and was succeeded by his son Guy I, who ruled until 1095. Guy I's children married into other local noble families: his daughter Melisende married Hugh, count of Rethel, and another daughter Elizabeth married Joscelin of Courtenay. Through these marriages and subsequent Montlhéry participation on the First Crusade, Guy I was the ancestor of the ruling dynasties of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and the County of Edessa. Another daughter, Alice, married into the Le Puiset family, and a son, Guy, became count of Rochefort. Guy I was succeeded by Milo I, followed by Milo's sons Guy II and Milo II. In 1118, after many disputes with the rebellious lords, Louis VI of France ordered the castle to be dismantled, except for the tower, and turned the town into a royal residence. Louis VI had himself been married to a granddaughter of Guy I, Lucienne of Rochefort, from 1104 to 1107.
After being absorbed into the royal domain, Montlhéry became part of the territory governed by the viscount of Paris. During the Hundred Years' War, the town and the tower frequently passed between English and French forces. On July 16, 1465, Charles the Bold defeated Louis XI of France at the Battle of Montlhéry. The town was left in ruins by the Wars of Religion, but it was rebuilt in 1591 under Henry IV.
In the 19th century the tower was used for scientific experiments. In 1822, François Arago calculated the speed of sound there; a cannonball shot at the tower was observed from the Observatory of Villejuif. In 1823, Claude Chappe installed a relay for the Paris-Bayonne telegraph line. On June 5, 1874, Alfred Cornu tried to calculate the speed of light between the tower and the Observatory in Paris.
During the Franco-Prussian War, the town was occupied and pillaged by the Prussians. It was occupied again by Germany in 1940 during the Second World War.
Today Montlhéry is a twin city with Stetten.
Guy I (died 1095) was the second lord of Montlhéry. He was probably the son of Thibaud of Montmorency, but some sources say that his father was named Milo. Thibaud could instead be his grandfather.
He married Hodierna of Gometz, daughter of William, lord of Gometz. They had seven children. Guy died in 1095, the same year Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade. Many of his descendants had illustrious careers in the Holy Land, through the Montlhéry, Courtenay, and Le Puiset branches of his family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_I_of_Montlh%C3%A9ry
Bertrade de Montfort (c.1070-1117) was the daughter of Simon I de Montfort and Agnes, Countess of Evreux. Her brother was Amaury III de Montfort.
The oft-married Count Fulk IV of Anjou was married to the mother of his son in 1089, when the lovely Bertrade caught his eye. According to the chronicler John of Marmoutier:
"The lecherous Fulk then fell passionately in love with the sister of Amaury of Montfort, whom no good man ever praised save for her beauty. For her sake, he divorced the mother of Geoffrey II Martel..."
Bertrade and Fulk were married, and they became the parents of a son, Fulk, but in 1092 Bertrade left her husband and took up with King Philippe. Philippe married her on May 15, 1092, despite the fact that they both had spouses living. He was so enamoured of Bertrade that he refused to leave her even when threatened with excommunication. Pope Urban II did excommunicate him in 1095, and Philippe was prevented from taking part in the First Crusade. Astonishingly, Bertrade persuaded Philippe and Fulk to be friends.
Bertrade and Philippe had three children together:
Philippe de France, Count of Mantes (living in 1123)
Fleury de France, seigneur of Nangis (living in 1118)
Cécile (died 1145), married (1) Tancred, Prince of Galilee; married (2) Pons of Tripoli
According to Orderic Vitalis, Bertrade was anxious that one of her sons succeed Philippe, and sent a letter to King Henry I of England asking him to arrest her stepson Louis. Orderic also claims she sought to kill Louis first through the arts of sorcery, and then through poison. Whatever the truth of these allegations, Louis succeeded Philippe in 1108. Bertrade lived on until 1117; William of Malmesbury says: "Bertrade, still young and beautiful, took the veil at Fontevraud Abbey, always charming to men, pleasing to God, and like an angel." Her son from her first marriage was Fulk V of Anjou who later became King of Jerusalem. The dynasties founded by Fulk's sons ruled for centuries, one of them in England (Plantagenet), the other in Jerusalem.

Simon I de Montfort born about 1025 in Montfort l'Amaury, Ile de France, France and died 1087. He is buried in Epernon, Normandy, France. He was the son of Amaury de Montfort (c 1000-1031) and Bertrade de Gometz.
Simon I first married Isabel de Broyles (b. 1034, Broyes, Marne, France), daughter of Hugh Bardoul. Thier children were Amauri de Montfort (c. 1056-1089) and Isabel (Elizabeth) de Montfort (b. 1057).
Simon I's second marriage was to Agnaes d'Evreux (b. 1030), daughter of Richard d'Evreux of Rouen, Normandy and Estephanina (Adelaide) de Barcelona, Queen of Spain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_I_de_Montfort
Amaury VI de Montfort (1195 - 1241) was the son of the elder Simon de Montfort and Alice of Montmorency, and the brother of the younger Simon de Montfort.
He participated in the Albigensian Crusade under his father's command. He inherited the County of Toulouse when his father died, but gave up the territory to King Louis VIII in 1224. In 1230 Amaury became constable of France, an office previously held by his uncle Mathieu II of Montmorency. In 1239 he participated in the Sixth Crusade and was taken prisoner after the defeat at Gaza. He was imprisoned in Cairo and was freed in 1241, but died the same year in Calabria while on the journey home.

From Domesday pages at http://www.infokey.com/Domesday/Derbyshire.htm: Roger de Poitou Holdings in Derbyshire in 1086
Count Roger of Poitou, was third son of the great Earl Roger de Montgomery II, the seignior of Mont gomerii in the arrondisement of Lisieux in Normandy. Roger of Poitou (sometimes Pictavencis, Pictavis or, in the West Riding, known as Roger le Poitevin).

Next youngest was Count Roger de Poitou who was made the first Earl of Lancaster by Duke William of Normandy, a less maganamious grant which befitted the third youngest son. Philip, the youngest, remained in Normandy and accompanied Duke Robert on the first crusade to the Holy land, and died there in 1094.
His Derbyshire holdings were Beighton, Heath, Lowne, Stansby, Sutton, Scarsdale . From Lancaster pages: Liverpool was not identified. However, many of the villages which now constitute parts of greater Liverpool were, including Allerton (Roger de Poitou), Childwall (Roger de P), Bootle (Roger de P), Knowsley (Roger de P), Newsham (Roger de P), Huyton (Roger de P), Kirby (Roger de P), Kirkdale (Roger de P), Sefton (Roger de P), Speke (Roger de P), Up and Down Litherland (Roger de P), Roby (Roger de P), Smithdown (unknown), Toxteth (Roger de P), Walton on the Hill (Roger de P), Wavertree (Roger de P), and West Derby (Roger de P), Woolton (Roger de P). Most of the coastal area north to the Ribble was also held by Roger de Poitou including Formby, Crosby, Thornton, Lydiate, Altcar, Maghull, Ince Blundell, Melling( not to be confused with the northern Melling which was held by the King at Domesday), Ainsdale, Southport( Erengermeles), North Meols(no relation to the Cheshire Meols) and Argarmeles (Birkdale). Inland, Roger de Poitou held Blackburn, Dalton, Cockerham, Hurlston, Leyland, Penwortham, Newton le Willows, Rochdale, Skelmerdale, Up and Down Holland, and Preston(part). Habitation and settlements in central Lancashire were sparse unless they were deliberately ignored by the Domesday as having been wasted by Duke William in 1070 in his scorched earth sweep. Most of the rest of southern Lancashire was held directly or indirectly by the King, and almost all of (now) northern Lancashire, including Heysham, Furness, Bardsea, Bispham, Marton (now Blackpool), Warton (Carnforth) and Lytham.
The population of Lancashire (south of the Ribble) at the Domesday Book was probably less than 2,000 and mostly confined to the coastal area within 20 miles of the Irish Sea except for Warrington, Salford, Rochdale and Manchester. North of the Ribble in the 100 known as Amounderness there was over 60 holdings and was slightly more heavily populated. But 45 settlements were waste, many still held by Roger de Poitou. Cheshire, to the south, was comparatively heavily populated and rich in holdings.
The fate of Roger de Poitou is unknown although it is believed he returned to Normandy where Ansfrid de Montgommerio (successor or relation of Roger de Montgommery II?) witnessed a charter of Count Roger de Poitou in 1094. At this time he was giving to his local Abbey of St.Martin, a customary act of atonement by Norman magnates at the end of their careers and lives, which by many might have been called ruthless and despotic. Most of his holdings in Lancashire, those waste and those of value, were retaken by the King during or soon after the Domesday Book
Per History of Staffordshire, Elizabeth was an exchange. Her husband, Ralph, took Agnes, daughter of Richard Evereua and Godehilde (widow of Roger de Toeni I), to Simon de Montfort to be Simon's wife, in exchange for Simon's daughter, Elizabeth. She was known for her high spirits, levity and audacity. She is described by Ordericus Vitalis as if she were a Camilla or Amazon, beldham, marching to war in full armour with more than a soldier's ardour. "Both women (iincluding daughter of William of Nevers) were "loquacious, high-spirited and of graceful figure: both rules their husbands and lorded it over their inferiors, whom they found various means of terrifying." A conflict between Evreux and Toenie families, called the "La Guerre of Belles Dames" including actual warfare for three years, ended in November, victory to the Conches, the two families agreed Count Evreux and this nephew Guillermus de Breteuil would make Roger, son of Ralph, their heir. The death of Roger May 15, 1093 frustrated this arrangement. Finally, Elizabeth, after years of widowhood, took the veil at the Priory of Haute Bruyere near Montfort l'Amauri, ending her wild life in the peace of a cloister.
