  6. AGNES. A charter of King Henry I confirmed the foundation and possessions of Bridlington priory, including the donation of "ecclesiam de Wicheforda" made by "Willielmus de Moion et uxor eius Agnes". The parentage of Agnes is not known. Maxwell-Lyte suggests "with some confidence" that she was the daughter of Walter de Gant & his wife. He bases this on the possession by Gilbert de Gand of Whichford, Warwickshire (then in Northamptonshire) in 1086, Gilbert´s son Walter´s foundation of the priory at Bridlington, and the donation by William de Mohun and Agnes his wife of the church of Whichford to Bridlington. m WILLIAM de Mohun, son of WILLIAM de Mohun & his wife --- (-[1155]).]"
