Christiana

  General Notes:

CHRISTIANA, daughter of ---. "Chetellus filius Eldred" donated "ecclesiam de Morlund…" to St Bees, with the consent of "uxoris mee Christiane et Willelmi filii mei", by undated charter. "Chetellus filius Eltred" donated "ecclesiam de Morlund…et ecclesiam de Wirchington" to York St Mary by undated charter, witnessed by "Christiana uxore mea, Willelmo filio meo, Archibaldo senescallo".

m. KETEL (-after 1120). An undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire records that "Elthredus [genuit] Ketellum". His parentage is confirmed by a charter of William [I] de Lancaster to York St Leonard's, confirming a donation by his "avunculus" Ketel fitz Eldred, from which it can be deduced that William's mother was Ketel's sister (assuming that avunculus is interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle).

Ketel & Christiana had [two] children: William and [Orm].

Christiana married Ketel FitzEldred, son of Eldred and de Taillebois. (Ketel FitzEldred died after 1120.)
