Narrative

[large-G675.FTW]

There is substantial confusion over his name. See The Complete Peerage
V4.p193 for an account. Personally, I feel there could have been two brothers,
William and Robert. Robert being the Earl and when he died at Acre his
nephew William son of his brother William suceeded, but no documents
support this theory either!
