Death date "before 1247, perhaps as early as 1242". 4. "It is our belief that Walter [RIN 1554] and William [RIN 1541] {were not half-brothers, but} were identical twins, and that William may have been the second to enter the world several minutes after the delivery of his brother." 5. "We have further a statement by Collins that the present William de Wyndesore married Edith Plantagenet, illegitimate daughter of William Plantagenet, Earl of Poitou, son of the Empress Maud and Geoffrey of Anjou. In that day of 'arranged marriages' and side excursions into amatory relationships it would be credible, except for three circumstances. (1) Any marriage of William de Wyndesore to a niece of King Henry I [RIN 1300] (brother of William, Earl of Poitou), whether or not she was illegitimate, would, we think, have brought William de Wyndesore far more into the limelight of royal preferment than actually was the case. The fact that earl William held lands in Middlesex, Surrey and Essex, is all the more reason why this should be true, for William of Poitou maintained close relationships with his royal kin. (2) William of Poitou appears to have been the victim of a hopeless love for a daughter of William de Warenne, to whom he was too closely related for the church to permit marriage to her. Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, opposed the match. (3) We have not found any Edith de Wyndesore in public record thus far, although it is freely admitted that possibly there may be evidence of this name which we have not seen." (p. 2,244).
