Notes for Richard (Spouse 1)
Notes:
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (132D:27), (161:24), (246B:25).
Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" states that Richard is often supposed to have been created Earl of Hertford by King STEPHEN if not by King HENRY I, but that there is no ground for such belief. He was slain by the Welsh in a surprise attack near Abergavenny in 1136.
