Commentary
Todd Farmerie: Gundred, wife of William de Warenne is known not to have been daughter of William the Conqueror, that being based on a forged foundation legend of a religious house."

According to David C. Douglas, "William the Conqueror," (London, 1964), p. 392, "The view once held that Matilda was already married when William sought her hand, and was then the mother of a daughter, Gundrada, later the wife of William of Warenne, has now been conclusively disproved by the researches of Chester Waters and Sir Charles Clay. There is no reason to suppose that Gundrada was the daughter either of William or Matilda."

Charles Cawley: "sister of Gerbod "the Fleming" Earl of Chester"
