SALISBURY

Volume 11, page 378:
William (of Salisbury), Earl of Salisbury (d. 1196):

[Evidence suggests that he may have had an earlier wife named Gundred. A charter - possibly spurious - contradicts the accepted chronology of the marriages of his wife, Eleanor de Vitré. (PROPOSED)]

William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury (d. 1225/6):

SAY

Volume 11, page 465 and note k:
Geoffrey de Say (d. by 1214):

It was he, not his son, who was married between 1175 and 1180, so that he was probably born much later than the date, 1135, suggested.

Volume 11, page 467 and note n:
Geoffrey de Say I (d. by 1214):

His first wife was Alice, widow of Hugh de Periers (d. about Dec. 1175), daughter and coheir of John de Chesney. Alice's paternal grandmother appears to have been Alice, daughter of Hugh Maminot and in her issue heir of Hugh's grandson Walkelin (d. c. 1190), son of Walkelin. Geoffrey and Alice were married by 1180, and she survived at least until 1185

He was dead by 8 March 1197/8.

Volume 11, page 468 and notes e-h:
Geoffrey de Say II (d. 1230):

He was probably born around 1180, so that the references given from the period 1180-1190, and presumably also the one from 1198, must relate to his father.

Volume 11, page 470:
Geoffrey de Say II (d. 1230):

The identity of his first wife is unknown (Alice de Chesney was his mother, not his wife). His second marriage had taken place by November 1225.

SCROPE (of Bolton)

Volume 11, page 542 (as modified by volume 14):
Roger (Le Scrope), Lord Scrope (d. 1403):

His wife, Margaret, should be placed a generation earlier in the Deincourt family.

Stephen (de Segrave), Lord Segrave (d. 1325):

Volume 11, page 609, note n:
John de Segrave of Folkestone (d. 1349):

His father was also named John. His daughter, Mary, was aged 15 days, not 15 years, at his death. The dates given for his and his daughter's deaths are contradicted by the dates of the writs. It is possible that the name, Blanche, given for his wife, results from confusion with another John de Segrave.

Volume 11, page 609:
John (de Segrave), Lord Segrave (d. 1353):

[Details of his sons Edmund and John, who predeceased him. (PROPOSED)]

The Rainald de Dunstanville and his sister Gundred, who appear in the pipe roll of 1130, are unlikely to be illegitimate children of Henry I.
