Her maritagium included the manor of Brinkley, Cambridgeshire. They had five sons, William, Geoffrey, John, Thomas (clerk), and Robert, and two daughters, Yolande and Agnes (wife of William de Windsor). He witnessed his father's charter to Bruton c.1142.

His widow, Godeheut, was apparently dead in 1186 (date of her son, William's charter).
