Ralph, described by contemporaries as "Comes" [Earl], possibly a courtier of comital rank but without a territorial earldom, at any rate in England, for he was French, to support the dignity, but also possibly Earl of Worcester or conceivably Hereford (he was employed at a high level against a Welsh incursion into England and revolts by various earls throughout the 1050s, though on one occasion he and his soldiers ran away before fighting even began); and/or even the East Midlands; held Sudeley and Toddington, Glos, and Chilvers Cotton, Warwicks; married Getha, and died 21 Dec 1057. [Burke's Peerage]
Note: The Plantagenet Ancestry calls him Earl of Hereford.
