    Note: NOTE***This is old outdated information, please read here: The origin of the epithet "Monoculus" or "One Eyed" is explained in the family history of the Counts of Boulogne and Ponthieu in which a tendency to blindness was hereditary. Eustace, Count of Boulogne, was called "Oculatus" or "Clear Eyed", because his eyesight was very good for a member of his family.2 Perhaps John fitz Richard may have lost an eye or sight in one, which lead to the moniker of "Monoculus" and the mistaken belief he was a member of the de Burgh family. Most likely the label "Monoculus" is bogus, added later to the John fitz Richard name as a result of confusing him with the de Burgh family pedigree, and should be scrapped. An early source suggested John fitz Richard was the brother of Serlo de Burgh of Knaresborough Castle, probably because the castle later came under the tenancy of John fitz Richard's son, Eustace fitz John;1,3 however, this brotherly relationship between Serlo de Burgh and John fitz Richard has been considered and rejected.4 Furthermore, John fitz Richard was recorded in the "Domesday Book" with the latinized name of Johannes Nepos Waleranni, i.e., nephew of Waleran fitz Ranulf (Richard fitz Ranulf's brother), and Serlo de Burgh was recorded with the latinized name of Serlo De Burci, whose father was Eustace de Burgh. Keats-Rohan flatly states that John fitz Richard was the "son of Richard fitz Ranulf,"5 whose father was Ranulf the Moneyer of Vains, and so no brotherly relationship to Serlo de Burgh could exist, therefore John fitz Richard wasn't a descendant of the de Burghs nor Charlemagne.
