| + | For newly published evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris The Bigod Earls of Norfolk in the 13th century (2005); 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod had received the manors of Acler, Halvergate, and South Walsham, Norfolk from King Henry II, in marriage with his wife, Ida de Tony (see Rotuli Hundredprum 1 (1812); 504, 537" To which he added : Assuming that this has been appropriately extracted, this would seem to be strong evidence that Ida did in fact belong to this family. Her exact placement remains to be documented. The credit question centers around discovery of evidence that 'Countess Ida', mother of William Longespee, is identical to Ida, wife of Roger Bigod. | ||
5.Don Stone asked (17 October 2007): "What is the exact wording of this reference to Robert, brother of John Botetourt? If no surname is given, it occurs to me that it might be a Robert de Saham, (half) brother of John Botetourt, since John is elsewhere specified as a brother of William de Saham." | 5.Don Stone asked (17 October 2007): "What is the exact wording of this reference to Robert, brother of John Botetourt?

6.On 16 October 2007 Douglas Richardson recorded that Eve Marshal married William de Brewes and is mother of Maud de Brewes. On 21 October Todd Farmerie observes that there are several spellings. Historians in the past have usually chosen to standardize this as Braose, but Mr. Richardson has simply chosen to use an alternative representation of the name. On 21 October Doug Thompson: "There was a long discussion on this newsgroup around March 2002 on the topic of the various spellings of Braose and which might be the preferred usage. You can find it in the archive by searching for "spelling braose". Briwer, Bruere, Brewer is a totally different family. In his next message Doug Thompson observes : The spelling of the name is a small detail. It's the false information he gives about the family which worries me more, since his books have an appearance of authority which is unfounded. | 6.On 16 October 2007 Douglas Richardson recorded that Eve Marshal married William de Brewes and is mother of Maud de Brewes.
