=== Royal Ancestry Biography ===
“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WALERAN, 4th Earl of Warwick, of Warwick, Warwickshire, 2nd son, born before 1153. He married (1st) MARGERY D'OILLY, daughter of Henry d'Oilly, of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, by Maud, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Steward to Kings Henry I, Stephen, and Henry II of England. They had two sons, Henry [5th Earl of Warwick] and Waleran, and one daughter, Gundred (nun at Pinley). He was heir in 1184 to his brother, William, 3rd Earl of Warwick. He was with King Henry II at Geddington, Northamptonshire in 1188. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I at Westminster 3 Sept. 1189. In 1195 he paid 20 marks for livery of the 3rd penny of the pleas of Warwickshire. In 1196 he paid £100 to be allowed to return to England. He married (2nd) about 1196 (when he offered 100 marks for her marriage) ALICE DE HARCOURT, widow of John de Limesy, of Collyweston, Northamptonshire (died before Michaelmas 1193), and daughter and heiress of Robert de Harcourt, of Bosworth, Leicestershire, Stanton-Harcourt, Oxfordshire, etc., by Isabel, daughter and heiress of Richard de Camville. They had one daughter, Alice. In 1199 he swore fealty to King John and is said to have carried the right hand sword at his Coronation. In 1200 he sold the reversion of the manor of Knoyle (in East Knoyle), Wiltshire to Godfrey de Lucy, Bishop of Winchester. In 1202 he was called into court by the Bishop to warrant the advowson of the church of Knoyle, Wiltshire against Maud, Countess of Warwick; Waleran was discharged from appearing in court as long as his knights were in the service of the king beyond seas. He was a benefactor of the Hospital of St. Michael, Warwick, of the nuns of Pinley, Warwickshire, and those of Wroxall, Warwickshire. WALERAN, 4th Earl of Warwick, died before 13 October 1204, it is said on 24 Dec. 1203. His widow, Alice, offered 1000 marks to remain a widow and be guardian of her children by the earl in 1205-6. She was living September 1212.

Note: Waleran married secondly Alice, daughter of Robert de Harcourt. She survived him, dying probably in 1226. They had two known children. There was a son, Waleran of Warwick, who succeeded to the manors of Greetham and Cottesmore at the earl's death in 1204, but died childless. It was from their daughter Alice that the claim to the earldom of Warwick came ultimately to the Beauchamp family of Elmley.
