  Research Notes:

The Annals of Waverley record that "Wallerannus" succeeded "fratri suo Willelmo in comitatu Warevici" in 1185.

He succeeded his brother in 1184 as Earl of Warwick. His succession was later challenged by someone claiming to be his older brother returned from Palestine.

Earl Waleran made a grant at Pinley for the soul of his wife Margery, as well those of his parents and his brother William. According to the Complete Peerage, Earl Waleran's first wife was Margaret de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun & his wife Margaret of Hereford. This appears chronologically improbable considering the likely birth dates of the children of Humphrey/Margaret in the 1140s, and in light of the estimated birth date of Waleran/Margaret's son in [1190]. One possibility is that Margaret was the daughter of the younger Humphrey de Bohun and his wife Margaret of Huntingdon, who were married in early 1171. A more likely hypothesis is set out in the on-line Corrections and Additions to the Complete Peerage, where it is suggested that Waleran's first wife was Margery de Oilly, daughter of Henry de Oilly of Hook Norton, Oxford & his wife Matilda de Bohun who, according to the Complete Peerage, was the first wife of Waleran's son, Henry, despite the obvious chronological difficulties of the latter considering her birth date before 1163, when her father died. This latter hypothesis appears confirmed by a writ dated 7 Mar "47 Hen III", after the death of "John de Plessetis alias de Plascetis earl of Warwick", which notes that "Humphrey de Bohun gave the manor [of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire] in free marriage to Henry de Oylly with Maud his sister", names "a son Henry and two daughters" as their children, adding that "from the elder [daughter] issued Thomas earl of Warwick and one Margery". Bracton records a claim, dated 1234, by "Walterus filius Symonis" against "Thomam comitem de Warewyc" which records that "Matillis de Boun antecessor ipsius Symonis" was "uxor Henrici de Oylly" by whom she had "filium Henricum de Oylly" who died without heirs but had "sororem Margeriam" who was the mother of "Henricum…comitem de Warewyc et qui fuit pater ipsius Thome". 1

  Marriage Information:

Waleran married probably Margery D' OILLY, daughter of Henry I D' OYLY of Hooknorton and Matilda DE BOHUN. (Margery D' OILLY died before 1196.)

  Marriage Information:

Waleran also married Alice DE HARCOURT, daughter of Sir Robert DE HARCOURT, Sheriff of Warwick & Leicester, and [Isabel] DE CAMVILLE, Heiress of Stanton, between 1196 and 1198 in Warwick, Warwickshire, England. (Alice DE HARCOURT was born in Bosworth, Leichestershire, England and died after Sep 1212.)
