  === Life Sketch ===
  William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey (died 11 May 1138) was the son of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey and his first wife Gundred. He was more often referred to as Earl Warenne or Earl of Warenne than as Earl of Surrey.[1]
  
  Life
  His father, the 1st Earl, was one of the Conqueror's most trusted and most rewarded barons who, at his death in 1088, was the 3rd or 4th richest magnate in England.[2] In 1088 William II inherited his father's lands in England and his Norman estates including the castles of Mortemer and Bellencombre in Haute-Normandy. But William II was not as disposed to serve the king as his father was.[2] In January 1091, William assisted Hugh de Grandmesnil (died 1094) in his defence of Courcy against the forces of Robert de Belleme and Duke Robert of Normandy.[3] In 1093 he attempted to marry Matilda (or Edith), daughter of king Malcolm III of Scotland.[4] She instead married Henry I of England, and this may have been the cause of William's great dislike of Henry I, which motivated him in the following years.[5]
  
  When Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy invaded England 1101 William joined him.[6] But when Curthose promptly surrendered to Henry I, William lost his English lands and titles and was exiled to Normandy.[6] There he complained to Curthose that he had expended great effort on the duke's behalf and in return lost all of his English possessions. Curthose's return to England in 1103 was apparently made to convince his brother, the king, to restore William's earldom. This was successful, though Curthose had to give up his 3000 mark annual pension he had received after the 1101 invasion, after which William's lands and titles were restored to him.[5]
  
  To further insure William's loyalty Henry considered marrying him to one of his many illegitimate daughters. Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury forbade the marriage based on the couple being related in the 4th generation on one side, and in the 6th generation on the other.[7] William was one of the commanders on Henry's side (against Robert Curthose) at the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106. Afterwards, with his loyalty thus proven, he became more prominent in Henry's court.[1]
  
  In 1110, Curthose's son William Clito escaped along with Helias of Saint-Saens, and afterwards Warenne received the forfeited Saint-Saens lands, which were very near his own in upper Normandy. In this way king Henry further assured his loyalty, for the successful return of Clito would mean at the very least Warenne's loss of this new territory.[1][8] He fought for Henry I at the Battle of Bremule in 1119.[1][9] William, the second Earl of Surrey was present at Henry's deathbed in 1135.[1][10] After the king's death disturbances broke out in Normandy and William was sent to guard Rouen and the Pays de Caux.[1][11]
  
  William was a donor to a number of priories, with his donations being mentioned in charters issued between 1130 and 1138 to Longueville Priory near Rouen, Normandy[12][13] and to the priory of Bellencombre (also near Rouen) in 1135.[14] His sons and his wife were witnesses to many of these charters.[12][13]
  
  William's death is recorded as 11-May-1138 in the register of Lewes Priory and he was buried at his father's feet at the Chapter house there.[15] His wife, the countess Elizabeth, survived him, dying before July 1147.[15]
  
  Family
  In 1118, William finally acquired the royal-blooded bride he desired when he married Elizabeth of Vermandois.[16] She was a daughter of Hugh I, Count of Vermandois and granddaughter of Henry I, King of France, as well as the widow of Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester.[17]
  
  By his wife Elizabeth, he had three sons and two daughters:
  
  1. William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey[18][19]
  2. Reginald de Warenne, who inherited his father's property in upper Normandy, including the castles of Bellencombre and Morteme.[19] He married Alice de Wormegay, daughter of William de Wormegay, Lord of Wormegay in Norfolk, by whom he had a son, William de Warenne (founder of the priory of Wormegay),[19] whose daughter and sole heir, Beatrice de Warenne, married firstly, Doun, Lord Bardolf, and secondly, Hubert de Burgh.[20][21] Reginald was one of the persecutors of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170.
  3. Ralph de Warenne[22]
  4. Gundred de Warenne,[22] who married firstly, Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick,[23] and secondly, William de Lancaster, Lord of Kendal, and is most remembered for expelling King Stephen's garrison from Warwick Castle.
  5. Ada de Warenne, who married Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, and was the mother of two Scottish kings.[24] She made many grants to the priory of Lewes.

  WILLIAM (DE WARENNE) II, EARL OF SURREY, 1st son and heir by 1st wife, usually styled EARL DE WARENNE. In 1090 he fought in Normandy against Robert de Belléme (afterwards 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury), who was supported by Duke Robert. Shortly after
  1093 he sought unsuccessfully to marry Maud, daughter of Malcolm III, King of Scotland. He was with Henry I at Windsor on 3 September 1101, but later in that autumn he went with Duke Robert to Normandy and supported him against the King, who
  confiscated his inheritance in England; however, in 1103 the Duke induced Henry to restore his English Earldom. In 1106 he commanded a division of the royal army at the battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was at a Great Council at Nottingharn; and
  in 1110 he was a surety for the performance of the treaty with the Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the nobles sitting in judgement in Normandy. He commanded a division of the royal army at the battle of Brémule in 1119 (l). In 1131 he
  attended the Council at Northampton. He was present at the death of Henry I on 1 December 1135 at Lyons-la-Foret; after which the councillors put him in charge of the district of Rouen and the pays de Caux. Later he went to England, and he was
  at Westminster with Stephen at Easter 1136. He was probably still living in June 1137. He was a benefactor, or confirmed previous benefactions, to the abbeys of St. Evroul and St. Amand (Rouen), and the priories of Lewes, Castle Acre,
  Wymondham, Longueville and Bellencombre. Henry I had proposed to marry William to one of his illegitimate daughters, but on Archbishop Anselm's objection this match was abandoned on the ground of affinity. William eventually married Isabel (or
  Elizabeth), widow of Robert (DE BEAUMONT), COUNT OF MEULAN and 1st EARL OF LEICESTER (died 5 June 1118) (c), daughter of Hugh DE CRÉPI (styled "the Great"), COUNT OF VERMANDOIS (younger son of HENRY I, KING OF FRANCE), by Adelaide, daughter and
  heir of Herbert, COUNT OF VERMANDOIS and VALOIS. He died probably 11 May 1138 and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes. Isabel survived him and with the consent of her son the 3rd Earl gave the church of Dorking to

  __________________________________________________
  
  William de Warenne, second Earl of Surrey (d 1138), elder son of William de Warenne (d 1088) by his wife Gundrada, succeeded his father as earl of Surrey in 1088, and is frequently described as 'Willelmus comes de Warenna'. In January 1091 hs helped Hugn (d 1094) of Grantmesnil to defend Courey against Robert de Belleme and Duke Robert. About 1093-4 he sought to mary Matilda (1080-1118) or Edith, daughter of Malcolm III, king of Scots, who married Henry I. This marrige may have been at the bottom of the earl's hatred of Henry; he mocked at the king's love of hunting and called him 'Harts-boot' and in 1101 shared an inciting Duke Robert to invade England. He joined Robert on his landing. He was disinherited, and accompanied the duke back to Normandy. The duke's visit to England in 1103 is said to have been made at the instigation of the earl, who prayed Robert to intercede for him that he might be restored to his earldom, saying that it brought him in a revenue of 1,000 £. Henry restored him, and from that time he was the king's faithful adherant and trusted friend. Henry comtemplated giving him one of his natural daughters in marriage, but was dissmacded by Anselm, who urged that the earl and the lady were within the prohibited degrees, the earl being in the fourth and the king's daughter in the sixth generation.
  
  At the battle of Tinchebray in 1106 the earl commanded the third division of the king's army, and when the castle of Elias de St Saens on the Varenne was taken in 1108 Henry gave it to him. He fought in the battle of Brennevile, or Bremule, on 20 Aug 1119, and is said to have encouraged the king in his determination to take a personal share in the combat. He was with the king at his death at the castle of Lions on 1 Dec 1135, and was appointed governor of Rouen and the district of Caux by the chief men of the ducy. In 1136 he attended the court held by Stephen at Westminster, and subsequently attested the king's charter of liberties at Oxford. He is said to have died in that year; but as he was alive in 1137 - for in that year his son, William de Warenne III was styled 'juvenia' - it is safe to accept the authority of the manuscript register of Lewes priory, which dates his death 11 May 1138. He was buried with his father in the cahpter-house of Lewes.
  
  He married the beautiful Elizabeth, or Isabel, daughter of Hugh the Great, count of Vermandois, a son of Henry I of France, and widow of Robert de Beaumont (d 1118), count of Meulan, from whom he carried her off while Robert was still living, though she was the mother of eight children. She died on 13 Feb 1131, and was buried at Lewes. By her he had three sons and two daughters, William de Warenne (d 1148), Reginald, and Ralph. Reginald was assured in the possession of the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer by the agreement made between Stephen and Duke Henry (Henry II) in 1153, the rest of the Warenne inheritance passing to Stephen's son William (d 1159); Reginald was one of the persecutors of Archbishop Thomas in 1170, and became a wealthy baron by his marriage with Adeline or Alice, daughter and sole heir of William de Wormegay in Norfolk. By Adeline Reginald had a son William, who founded the priory of Wormegay and left as his sole heir his daughter Beatrice, who married (1) Dodo, lord Bardolf, and (2) Hubert de Burgh, earl of Kent. Earl William's two daughters were Gundrada, who married (1) Roger de Beaumont, earl of Warwick, and in 1153 expelled Stephen's garrison from the castles of Warwick and surrendered it to Henry; and (2) William, called Lancaster, baron of Kendal, and, it is said, a third husband; and Ada or Adeline, who in 1139 married Henry of Scotland, son of David I. He made many grants to the priory of Lewes, and was regarded as it s second founder, completed the coundation of the priory of Castle Acre begun by his father, and made grants to the abbey of Grestein in Normandy and to the 'infirm brethern' of Bellencombre.
