  === !The History and Antiquities of Hertford ===
  !The History and Antiquities of Hertfordshire Q942.58 V22c A note in Complete Peerage says Walter Fitz Robert was the son of Robert Fitz Philip and his fees extended into 6 counties. (Book of Fees p. 1459, and passine) (Farrer, honors and Knights Fees VI p. 276) However, in our searching we find that the only Philip we can find died without posterity. So we have gone with our other sources for Watler Fitz Robert's parentage and heritage.

4. Title: Appendix I of "Ancestors and Descendants of John Price: Immigrant to Virginia: 1610-11"
   Note: Although the book is compiled by Vina Chandler Price, Appendix I was included at the request of Mrs. Margaret Scruggs Carruth, and was researched by Miss Kett and by Mr. H. E. Forrest (after the death of Miss Kett, which took before 1930). Both Miss Kett and Mr. Forrest were reputed to be professional genealogists. Mr Forrest is also referred to as the "Antiquarian Editor" of the Shrewsbury Chronicle I looked H. E. Forrest online and found that he is also the editor of the following books: --"Shrewsbury Burgess Roll", published in 1924 by the Shrewsbury and Shropshire Archaeological and Parish Register Society --"The old Churches of Shrewsbury: Their History, Architecture and Associations", published in 1920 by Shrewsbury, Wilding & Son --"Some Old Shropshire Houses and their Owners: Braggington (with a plate), Dinthill, Whitley, & Play-Y-Court", published in 1915 by Shropshire Archaeological & Natural History Society. Margaret Scruggs Carruth is a charter member of "Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede". She served as Registrar when it was first organized, and is listed as member #22. To be eligible for membership, a person must descend from one or more of the Barons of Runnemede. The Barons forced King John to agree to the Magna Carta, a charter constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges. Mrs. Scruggs claims eligibility for membership through John Price who supposedly descended from eleven of the Barons. Appendix I provides two different lineages. One is from Robert Fitzwalter (who was one of the Barons of Runnemede) to John Price (born 1584-5), and the titular character of this book. The 2nd is from Elystan Glodrydd app Cyhelin ap Ifor (933-1010) (who was Prince of Ferlllys and founder of the Fourth Royal Tribe of Wales) back to the same John Price.
   Page: Sir Walter Fitzwalter (2nd Gen, pg. 515) is identified as: the son of Robert Fitzwalter (1st Gen, pp. 514-515) and Gunora de la Valoines; the husband of Maude; and the father of Ida Fitzwalter (3rd Gen, pg. 515).
