Ralph fitz Olaf
( - before 1159?)
Insula means in Latin "Lille". Olivier Meert states: "de l'ISLE" or "de INSULA" is to be found in Lille (Northern-France-French Flanders - it was the capital of Flanders).The first viscount of Lille was SASWALO in 1039-47. His grandson was Roger father of Robert.
Ralph was steward to the Prior of Ely/Chamberlain to the Bishop of Ely.
Ralph fitz Olaf married Daughter,, daughter of Robert the Chamberlain. She brought a moiety of the smaller manor of Wilbraham in marriage. She may have been the sister of Robert.
There is no direct statement that Ralph married a daughter of Robert, the Chamberlain of the earl of Richmond, but the conclusion is derived from the evidence of Henry II's confirmation charter that his wife brought with her a moiety of the smaller manor of Wilbraham, and a garbled account given in 1279 from a Hundred Roll entry abstracted by Farrer in Feudal Cambridgeshire, p.122/123, as follows: "An unknown King of England held (the vill of) Great Wilburham in his own hands and gave one moiety thereof to Nele de Chaunberlein with the advowson of the church; the said Nele gave a moiety of his moiety to one Robert de (Insu)la with one of his daughters, which tenement Robert de Insula now holds, namely 200 a., of the honor of Richmond after Nele's death 100 a. descended hereditarily to his 5 daughters, of which Edmund de Sardelowe holds 90a. for the term of his life of John de Lovetot, who held of the honor of Brittany; R.Hund. II 490 b".
The pipe rolls record Ralph the Steward holding 20 librates of land in Wilbraham in 1156, then Ralph son of Olaf holding 16 in 1157, and 12 in 1158. There is no mention of Ralph after this date. It is likely that Ralph Olaf is the same person as Ralph the Steward.
The following are charters extracted from British Library Cotton MS Claudius C xi. The first gives evidence for the hereditary gift to Ralph, steward of the prior of Ely of the isle of Coveney (from which the surname Insula likely derived) to be held for 5 shillings yearly [1]. In the charters concerning Alexander prior of Ely, Ralph is termed a steward not a chamberlain.

Chris concludes that the bishop's confirmation to Robert fitz Ralph follows shortly after Ralph's death around 1158/59, "[CP- the confirmation charter by the bishop for Robert son of Ralph, comes after Richard became treasurer but before [archdeacon] William's death, say 1158-1160. So if Ralph was still alive in late 1158 (pipe roll), we can narrow the date of his death down to a year or two after that on the evidence of the charters. If so, surely the end of his tenure in Wilbraham came at his death, so he would have died 1158-1159]".
From the continuation of the land holding of the Isle of Coveney Ralph, serving prior Alexander as a steward, and bishop Nigel as a chamberlain, is clearly the same person - whether simultaneously or consecutively in these capacities, it's not apparent.
In 1066 and 1086 the larger of two manors in Great Wilbraham was that belonging from of old to the king. It apparently remained part of the royal demesne until the 1150s, when it was divided into two unequal parts, the smaller alienated from the 1150s. The larger part, later TEMPLE manor, then valued at £12 out of a total of £20, was held 1155-8 by Ralph son of Olaf. Thereafter, reckoned worth £15, it was retained by the king until c. 1189, when it was given, allegedly by Henry II, to Hugh de Malalney.

The other manors in Great Wilbraham derived from 4 hides held of the honor of Richmond. They had belonged in 1066 to Eddeva the fair and by 1086 were held of Count Alan, lord of Richmond, by his chamberlain Eudes. Robert the chamberlain, probably Eudes's son...Probably by 1155 Robert had given half of his Wilbraham manor with a kinswoman in marriage to Ralph son of Olaf. Ralph was steward and chamberlain to Nigel, bishop of Ely; his daughter, supposedly named Beatrice, married Robert de Lisle. Robert or his son Robert was sheriff of Cambridgeshire 1198-1201. The son had the estate in 1207 and survived into the 1220s.

William Fitzalan or Fitzwilliam
(circa 1155 - circa 1212)
William Fitzalan or Fitzwilliam was born circa 1155. He was the son of William Fitzalan and Isabel de Say.
William Fitzalan or Fitzwilliam married Agnes de Lacy.
Baron of Oswestry, Sheriff of Shropshire.
William died circa 1212. Rosie Bevan on the Medieval-L@rootseb.com mailing list wrote: It seems to me that Sanders bases the date of death, of William II in 1212/3 on the Testa de Nevill return by the sheriff of Shropshire in 1212. In this return the first entry is of William Fitzalan who is described as holding "in capite de domino Rege per baroniam". This indicates that the attributed date of death of 1210 is incorrect.
That being so, the assumption that because the barony of Oswestry was in manum regis, the heir was a minor, does not follow for William III was offering relief of 10,000 marks in August 1212 immediately after his father's death. What seems to have happened was that the barony was being held by the king until relief (or guarantee of one) had been paid. It appears that William III may have been seised of part of the lands and died after June 1213 when he is mentioned as having contracted the fine. The extraordinary amount of the relief indicates that King John did not trust FitzAlan and was ensuring his continual indebtedness as a guarantee of compliance, so that he could keep most of the barony under his own control. William III must have died between June and November of 1213 which was when the estates ended up in the king's hands again.
Thomas Erdington, (former sheriff of Shropshire in 1208) paid a colossal 5000 marks for the custody of the FitzAlan estate on the death of William III. He may have been intent on safeguarding the interests of his grandchildren who appear to have been teenagers, for John II came of age in 1244 meaning that he was fathered in 1223 by John I, six years after the death of his brother William IV in 1217. Looking at the economics of the situation, it seems to me that there was not a long period of minority and that payment of such a high amount for the custody, did not appear to be a particularly good bargain. This would indicate that personal interest was at stake not financial reward.
As Chris Philips has commented, Sanders' chrononology is entirely feasible, and going by the above version, I would suggest something along these lines.

Alan Fitzalan Seneschal of Dol
(circa 1050 - 1097)
He was herditary Seneschal or Steward of Dol, who was a crusade commander and died on crusade in 1097. From his son, William Fitz Alan, the Fitzalan Earls of Arundel descend.
Fitz-Aleyn. The first bearers of this great historical name were the sons of Alan Fitz-Flaald, Baron of Oswaldestre in Shropshire and of Mileham in Norfolk, who received from Henry I. the shrievalty of Shropshire, and died about 1114. No one exactly knows who he was. Eyton, after a close and laborious investigation of the question, has adopted the legend found in the fanciful Booke of Hector Boece, who believed he had discovered in him the
grandson of Banquo, the murdered Thane of Lochaber.* The names of Fleanchus
and Flaaldus are, as he argues, easily convertible; and he states that when
Fleance fled from Scotland about 1050, he took refuge at the court of Gruffyth-ap-Llewellyn, and fell in love with Gruffyth's daughter Guenta, who became his wife, and the mother of Alan. The author of The Norman People brings evidence to show that Flaald, his father, lived in Brittany, and was a brother of Alan, Seneschal of Dol, descended from the old Armorican Counts of Dol and Dinan. At all events, whatever may have been the origin of Alan Fitz
Flaald, he was " The mighty Father of our Kings to be," for, from his second son, Walter Fitz Alan, appointed Steward or Seneschal to David I. of Scotland, sprung the royal House of Stuart. The elder son, William Fitz Alan, was the progenitor of the Earls of Arundel, and received from Henry II. in second marriage Isabel de Say, Baroness of Clun, the greatest heiress in Shropshire. His name must have been a later addition to the Roll; for Alan Fitz Flaald, who survived the Conquest for nearly sixty years, must have been far too young a man when he fought at Hastings to have had a grown-up son by his side. Nor do either William or Walter occur in Domesday , where we find only Ricardus filius Alann entered as a sub-tenant
in Norfolk.
* Shakespere alludes to this story in Macbeth, when the witches foretell the
future greatness of his race to Banquo :
" Thou shall get kings, though thou be none.". Alan Fitzalan Seneschal of Dol was born circa 1050. He was the son of Alan Seneschal of Dol.

Christina FitzAlan (Bruce)
Christina FitzAlan (Bruce) was born. Christian, or Cristina 'filia Walter', daughter of Walter fitz Alan, steward of Scotland (-1177) & Eschina of Huntlaw. She was the daughter of Walter FitzAlan and Eschyn de Molle of Huntlaw.
Christina FitzAlan (Bruce) married William de Brus, son of Robert de Brus 2nd Lord of Annandale and Euphemia de Aumale, before 1195 in Scotland. Her dower included a third of the manor of Hartlepool, co. Durham, as evidenced by agreement with her son and heir Robert de Brus: ' On 11 Nov 1218, an agreement between Robert Brus and Patrick, earl of Dunbar and C. the countess, records that Patrick was to retain one third of the market.
Christina was married first to William Bruce, lord of Annandale; later she was second wife of Earl Patrick (d.1232). On Countess Christina, see Andrew B.W. MacEwen, ‘Seven Scottish Countesses: A Miscellany. III. Christina de Brus, Countess of Dunbar’, The Genealogist, Fall 2003, 223-33. Christina was first wife of William de Brus, who died × 1212; and secondly wife of Earl Patrick (I) of Dunbar, who died in 1232. Christina was thus the stepmother of Earl Patrick (II). MacEwen suggests persuasively that Countess Christina was a daughter of Walter son of Alan (I) the steward and a sister of Alan the steward. This is based on the evidence that Birkenside (BWK), which was held by Walter son of Alan the steward, was later part of the marriage portion of Countess Euphemia, wife of Earl Patrick (II) [see 3/15/74 below]. MacEwen suggests that Christina inherited Birkenside from her putative father, Walter son of Alan (I), and that Euphemia was her daughter with William de Brus. Thus, Christina, who married secondly Earl Patrick (I) of Dunbar, apparently had a daughter from her previous marriage, Euphemia de Brus, who married Earl Patrick (I)’s son from a previous marriage, Earl Patrick (II). Thus Countess Christina appears to have been both stepmother and mother-in-law to Earl Patrick II. See also Andrew B.W. MacEwen, ‘A Clarification of the Dunbar Pedigree’, The Genealogist, vol. 9, no. 2 (1988), 229-41.
Patrick Dunbar 5th Earl of Dunbar married secondly Christina FitzAlan (Bruce) between 1215 and 1218 in Scotland. The Earl married, secondly, between 1215 and 1218, Christina, widow of William de Brus of Annandale.
Andrew B W MacEwen, noted Scots genealogist, published an article in The Genealogist in 2003 which resolved her parentage. In that article, Mr MacEwen identified Cristina as a daughter of Walter fitz Alan (d. 1177), the first Steward of Scotland of that family.

The CP article on Arundel does not give the parents of John Fitz Alan who married Isabel d'Aubigny. The Fitz Alan article confusingly implies Isabel de Say married the second William Fitz Alan. This is an error in CP. I do not know if it is corrected in vol. 14.
No alteration is proposed. I wonder if we might take a consensus on this. Joe Cochoit's suggestion (from Eyton, a text that has time to mature, shall we say), is that William ('I', so to speak) FitzAlan is the father with Isabel de Say of William ('II'). No wife of William ('II') is identified; i.e. John FitzAlan who m. Isabel d'Aubigny is the son of William ('II') but by an unknown mother. Is there general agreement here?. William Fitzalan was born circa 1105 in Oswestry, Shropshire. He was the son of Alan Fitzalan Seneschal of Dol.
William Fitzalan married Isabel de Say. His first wife was Christian, niece of Robert Fitzroy of Gloucester.
Isabel de Say was wife of William fitz Alan, son of Alan fitz Flaald. Her father was Elias, lord of Clun in Shropshire. Although a relationship is implied, Sanders ("English Baronies" (Oxford, 1960), p. 113) indicates that the relationship between Henry de Say, lord of Clun and Elias is unknown.
Another de Say individual with ties to Shropshire is possibly Eustacia de Say, wife of Hugh fitz Osbern (d. ante 1140). Sanders (p. 75, note 3) indicates that Eustacia's ancestry is unknown. Nash's "History of Worcestershire", suggests that Eustacia's father was one Theodoric de Say, son of Picot de Say. Reade ("The House of Cornewall") indicates she was the daughter of Elias de Say and granddaughter of Theodoric de Say. Theodoric de Say and his father, Picot, were of Stokesay in Shropshire.
Are Elias of Clun and Elias of Stokesay the same individual? They appear to be contemporary, as does Eustacia, which would indicate that Nash's solution is the more likely. Does anyone know the devolution of Stokesay? Unfortunately, all I have at hand are secondary sources.

William Fitzalan was born circa 1105 in Oswestry, Shropshire. He was the son of Alan Fitzalan Seneschal of Dol.
William Fitzalan married Isabel de Say. His first wife was Christian, niece of Robert Fitzroy of Gloucester.
Isabel de Say was wife of William fitz Alan, son of Alan fitz Flaald. Her father was Elias, lord of Clun in Shropshire. Although a relationship is implied, Sanders ("English Baronies" (Oxford, 1960), p. 113) indicates that the relationship between Henry de Say, lord of Clun and Elias is unknown.
Another de Say individual with ties to Shropshire is possibly Eustacia de Say, wife of Hugh fitz Osbern (d. ante 1140). Sanders (p. 75, note 3) indicates that Eustacia's ancestry is unknown. Nash's "History of Worcestershire", suggests that Eustacia's father was one Theodoric de Say, son of Picot de Say. Reade ("The House of Cornewall") indicates she was the daughter of Elias de Say and granddaughter of Theodoric de Say. Theodoric de Say and his father, Picot, were of Stokesay in Shropshire.
Are Elias of Clun and Elias of Stokesay the same individual? They appear to be contemporary, as does Eustacia, which would indicate that Nash's solution is the more likely. Does anyone know the devolution of Stokesay? Unfortunately, all I have at hand are secondary sources.
