  RESEARCH NOTES:
  widow of Ivo Taillebois and Roger Fitz Gerold [Ref: Weis AR #246B]
  
  parentage is one of the unsolved puzzles of genealogy.  Possibly daughter
  of Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia; possible daughter of Thorold, Sheriff of
  Lincoln.  Latter seems more likely [Ref: CP VII AppJ] note: Lady Godiva,
  mother of Aelfgar, also listed as sister of Thorold Sheriff of Lincs [Ref:
  Weis AR #176A]
  
  parents being Turold the Sheriff and daughter of Robert Malet's sister
  first suggested by R. Kirk in 1888.  This account has the merits of explaining
  why the lordship of Spalding and other places in Lincolnshire were held after
  Ivo's death not by Beatrice, his direct heir and the daughter of his marriage
  to Lucy, but by the later husbands of Lucy, Roger Fitx Gerold and Ranulph
  Meschines. [Ref: KeatsRohan Lucy]
  
  Spurious charter of Crowland Abbey made Turold of Bucknal (the Sheriff)
  the founder of the priory of Spalding as a cell of Crowland.  It also called
  Turold brother of Godiva countess of Mercia, but subsequently described
  Godiva's son Earl Algar as Turold's cognatus (cousin).  A genealogia
  fundatoris of Coventry Abbey made Lucy a daughter of Earl Algar and sister and
  heiress of earls Edwin and Morcar.  The Peterborough Chronicle and the
  Pseudo-Ingulf's Chronicle of Crowland both made Lucy the daughter of Algar and
  niece of great-niece of Turold.  We know that William Malet was half-English,
  so these traditions probably boil down to a relationship between Countess
  Godiva and William's English mother. [Ref: KeatsRohan Lucy]
  
  in initial benefaction Ivo and Lucy referred to 'our ancestors Turold and
  his wife'  The reference to Turold's wife indicates that some part of his
  landholdings had come to him through his wife, something also indicated by the
  occurrence of William Malet amongst those who had held the Domesday lands of
  Lucy's first husband Ivo Taillebois before him. [Ref: KeatsRohan Lucy]
