Gisla de Montfort-sur-Risle
General Notes: GISLA de Montfort-sur-Risle . Guillaume of Jumièges records that "Geroius" married "Turstini de Monteforti...filiam...Gislam" by whom he had "septem filios et quatuor filias...Ernaldus et Fulcoius...Willelmus et Rodulfus Mala-Corona, Robertus, Hugo et Geroius, Heremburgis et Emma, Adelais et Hadvisa", adding that "ex his filiorum et nepotum militaris turma propagata est, quæ Barbaris in Anglia vel Apulia seu Trachia vel Syria nimio terrori visa est" ["from these children and grandchildren sprang a race of knights who became the terror of the barbarians in England, Apulia, Thrace and Syria"]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Geroius" married "Gislam Turstini de Basteburgo filiam" by whom he had "septem filios et quatuor filias...Ernaldus, Willermus, Fulcoius, Radulfus Mala-corona, Rodbertus, Hugo et Geroius, Heremburgis, Hadvisa, Emma, Adelais". Her marriage can probably be dated to [1005/10]: Orderic Vitalis records that Giroie died only "Ernaldus et Willermus" were knights, in another passage making it clear that he died before the death of Robert II Duke of Normandy (who died in 1035). Gisla married Giroie Seigneur d'Echauffour et de Montreuil, son of Arnaud de Courcerault and Unknown, between 1005 and 1010.1 (Giroie Seigneur d'Echauffour et de Montreuil died before 1035 1.) |
