Geva de Burci
- Preferred Name: Geva de Burci[1]
- Gender: F
- FSID: GZZ5-RJJ
- Birth: AFT 1055 in Normandy, France at LATI: N8.928 LONG: E0.5326
- Residence: Worspring Manor
- Death: ABT 1107 in Worspring Manor, Somerset, England. at LATI: N1.1197 LONG: E2.9
- Notes:
=== Life Sketch ===
Geva de Burci, was one of the two daughters of Serlo de Burci and his unnamed wife. Geva's sister, who is also unnamed, became a nun at Shaftesbury during her father's lifetime, which meant Geva became the principal heir, when her father died about 1086.
First husband and child
The only thing known about Geva's first husband, is his name Martin. It has been suggested that he may be Martin(us) de Walis, the first witness of the foundation charter of Totness Priory but although this would be in the right geographical area, it would place the foundation of that Priory earlier than expected.
The idea that he is Martin 'de Tours' (Martinus de Turribus), founder of the Abbey of St Dogmael and buried in the choir there, comes from a very late source and there is no early evidence, besides which other factors make it impossible that this happened within Martin's time frame.
The only child of this marriage is:
Robert FitzMartin, who is definitely named as the grandson of Serlo de Burci in a charter from early in the reign of Henry II
Martin must have died before 1086 when his wife Geva is named as the wife of William de Falaise.
Second marriage and children
Research Notes
Robert FitzMartin seems to be the only child of Geva and her first husband Martin the other FitzMartin children attached to this profile need further investigation.
Nicholas FitzMartin
William FitzMartin
Avice and Avice Alice FitzMartin (presumably the same person)
Also Sir William Martyn, is either an incorrect name for Geva's first husband Martin, or a completely different person who has been attached as her husband. Again this need investigation.
