 General Notes:
27 x great-grandmother
Research Notes:
Domesday Descendants states that Fulk Paynell "acquired the fief of William fitz Ansculf de Picquigny lord of Dudley, Worcestershire, probably by marriage to William’s heiress... Ellis is more definite, naming "Beatrix, d. and heiress of Will. fitz Ansculph, of Dudley" as the wife of Fulk Paynell, without citing the primary sources on which he bases his supposition. Grazebrook comments that "it has…been suggested, and I think with great probability" that Fulk Paynell acquired the lordship of Dudley "by marriage with Fitz Ansculph’s heiress". 2
Marriage Information:
Beatrix married Fulk Paynel, Lord of Dudley, son of Guillaume Paynel, Seigneur de Moûtiers-Hubert. (Fulk Paynel died after 1129.) |
