SURREY

Volume 12, Part 1, pages 491-3 (as modified by volume 14) and notes:
Rodulf de Warenne I and subsequent generations:

The suggestion that Beatrice, the wife of Rodulf I, may have been a daughter of Tesselin, Vicomte of Rouen, remains conjectural. In the revised scheme, the dates 1059 and 1074 relate not to Rodulf I, but to Rodulf II and his wife Emma who were married in or before 1059, and were both living in 1074. From charter evidence, Rodulf II had an elder son Rodulf III (who probably succeeded to his father's lands near Rouen and in the pays de Caux, married and left issue) and a younger son, William I.

TONY

Ralph de Toeni V (d. 1162):

[Evidence suggests that his marriage to Margaret, daufhter of Robert, 2nd Earl of Leicester, could have taken place earlier than 1155, in contrast to the date, "after 1155" suggested under Leicester. (PROPOSED)]
