Taking part with llobert " Curth'tf" against Hen. I., he was deprived of kit Earldom about 1101, but restoreil the following year. Was in command at Tincliebraye, 28 Sep.

It is noteworthy that there is no mention of any relationship between Gundred ami Queen Matilda in the charters at Cluny, which were carefully searched by Sir G. lhiekett with that view. W.H. lllamw, K.S.A. (ArclueoliH/ia, xxxii, 108', wrote against Stapletou's theory, but the disproof of Matilda being mother to Gundred, (a statement, founded on "a lath century transcript of a suppositious charter of the 11th century") is in Chester Waters's pamphlet abuvemcntioned, and is as below : — When a marriage was proposed between William, Earl of Surrey (the 9. of Gundred). and an illeffit. da. of Henry I., Auselui remonstrated on the ground of their being " ex una parte cognati in quart;! generatione, et ex altera, in sexta, "i.e., (adopting the pedigree indicated in p. 323, note "c,") that the great grandmother of the bride- groom elect was sister to [Gunnora] the great great grandmother of Henry I, the father of the proposed bride. See tabular pedigree below. Now it is quite certain that if the parties had been fint cousins, hulh having (as the lady unquestionably had) Queen Matilda as their grandmother, that this Orach nearer relationship (which could not have been unknown to Anselm) would have been alleged, instead of the fact (as stated by Anselm) that, they were third cousins twice removed. Au attempt, by Martin Rule, M.A., to reconcile the words " mater " and "JUi*," in the Lewes charter, as meaning Godmother" and "Goddaughter." is summarily disposed of in Chester Waters's article, it being " canonically impossible that a man and his wife could ever be both sponsors of the same child."
