“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GERARD DE GOURNAY, of Caister, Norfolk, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, la Ferte-en-Brie, and Gaillefontaine, founder of Lessingham Priory, Norfolk, son and heir. He married before 1091 EDIVA (or EDEVA) DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by Gundred, sister of Gerbod, Earl of Chester. Her maritagium included the manor of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire. They had one son, Hugh, and one daughter, Gundred (wife of Nele [or Nigel] de Mowbray). He and his father witnessed the foundation charter of Holy Trinity Caen in 1082 issued by King William the Conqueror. In 1090, he stood by King William Rufus against Duke Robert, and, on their reconciliation, his allegiance and castles in Normandy were transferred to Duke Robert. He and his mother confirmed all of his father's gifts to Bec Abbey. He accompanied Robert, Duke of Normandy, on a crusade in 1096, and was with Bohemond in the advance from Nice in Bythinia. At an unknown date, he gave Lessingham, Norfolk to Bec Abbey. GERARD DE GOURNAY was living in 1104, and is said to have died on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His widow, Ediva, married (2nd) DREW DE MOUCHY (living 1131), seigneur of Mouchy-le-Chatel, canton de Noailes (Oise). They had one son, Drew.
Note: Gurney Rec. of the House of Gournay (): 286-289, 292-293, 776-777 [author alleges that Gerard de Gournay and his wife, Ediva, had a younger son, Walter de Gournay (living 1150), ancestor of the Gurnay family of Norfolk. Such an individual existed but he had no association in the records with the senior branch of the Gournay family. Rather, it appears that Walter was closely related to a Galiena de Gournay, born say 1120, living c. 1170, wife of Manasser de Dammartin (died 1178/9), of Mendlesham and Cotton, Suffolk, Norton Mandeville, Essex, etc. Surviving records show that Manasser de Dammartin enfeoffed Walter de Gumay with a 1/4 knight's fee in Suffolk during the Civil War between King Stephen and Empress Maud. In 1150 Walter de Gournay witnessed a charter to Missenden Abbey for Manasser and Galiena. Charter evidence proves that Galiena was the granddaughter of an unplaced William de Gumay, of Addington, Kent, whose gift to the see of Rochester she confirmed by her own undated charter. Given these facts, it is doubtful that Walter de Gournay was the son of Gerard de Gournay as alleged. (see notes and sources in collaborate.)
=== Nigel, the third son, was heir of Robert ===
Nigel, the third son, was heir of Robert de Montbrai, or Mowbray, hisfirst cousin, whose wife he married during the lifetime of her husbandby licence of Pope Paschal, and for some time treated her with respectout of regard for her noble parents; but on the death of her brotherGilbert de l'Aigle, having no issue by her, he craftily sought for adivorce on the ground of that very kinship which he exerted so muchinfluence to induce the Pope to overlook, and then married Gundred,daughter of Gerrard de Gournay, by whom he had Roger, who assumed thename of Mowbray, and transmitted it to his descendants, Dukes ofNorfolk and Earls Marshal of England; and Henri, ancestor of the lineof Albini of Cainho.
