Edith

  General Notes:

EDITH, daughter of ---. Symeon of Durham names "Rodberto filio Edæ et Henrici regis notho". The Complete Peerage identifies her as the probable daughter of Forn Sigurdson Lord of Greystoke, Cumberland. If this is correct, she married Robert de Oilly of Hook Norton, constable of Oxford Castle, son of Nigel [III] de Oilly of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire & his wife Agnes --- (-1142). The suggestion is presumably based on the undated charter under which "Robertus Henrici regis filius" donated property to Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, with the consent of "Henrici de Oleio fratris mei". However, "Editha, Roberto de Oilly conjugali copula juncta" donated property to Thame Abbey, for the souls of "Henrici et Gilberti filiorum meorum", by undated charter witnessed by "Fulco de Oilly, Fulco Luval, Henrico filio Roberti filii Aumari". If Edith, wife of Robert de Oilly, was the same person as the mother of King Henry´s son Robert, it is unclear why she would not have named her son Robert in this charter.

Edith had a relationship with Henry I of England King of England, Duc de Normandie, son of Guillaume I de Normandie King of England (William I), Duc de Normandie and Mathilde de Flandre. (Henry I of England King of England, Duc de Normandie was born in 1068 in Selby, North Yorkshire, YO8, GB,^{1 2} died on 1 Dec 1135 in Château de Lyons-la-Forêt, Eure, Haute-Normandie, 27480, FR ¹ and was buried in Reading Abbey, Reading, Berkshire, RG1, GB.)
