Subject: Re: Wm. FitzOsbern/Wm. the Conqueror: I know of no contemporary source which provides the parents of Sprota. Speculation has placed her among the family of the Counts of Senlis, because BERNARD OF SENLIS (RIN 1183) is called uncle of RICHARD I. However, a second source says the same of WILLIAM LONGSWORD, suggesting that if true, the link was through POPPA. (Sprota's status as mistress of WILLIAM also makes it unlikely that she came from a family of such status.)
