"There is no basis for prefering Rosamund Clifford as William Longespee's mother over numerous other suggested mistresses, and two charters which name another mother, Ida. The truth of the matter is that the mother of William was unknown prior to a recent discovery. For this reason, every author produced their own theory of who the mother could be. None of them had any documentary support, but the Rosamund Clifford assignment was the worst of them, because it was assigned simply because at the time, she was Henry's only known mistress. No attention was paid to chronology or anything else. However, a decade ago, Charles Evans brought to the attention of the greater genealogical community a pair of charters in which William Longespee specifically names his mother as
"Countess Ida". In light of this clear documentary evidence of the name of his mother, all other speculation (which had no such documentary basis) must be rejected. Who was "Countess Ida"? Recently the speculation has been published that she was the future wife of Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and supporting this identification is the fact that William Longespee was appointed guardian for Roger Bigod, who would have been his nephew. Questions of Ida's identity aside, there can be no doubt that Ida was mother of William Longespee. As far as I know, the earliest source that mentions Rosamund Clifford as his mother dates from the 16th century, 300+ years after the event (while the Ida charters belong to William Longespee himself)."
