Rosamond "Fair Rosamond" de Clifford 
Rosamond "Fair Rosamond" de was born in 1136 in Clifford Castle, Hay, Herefordshire, England. Rosamond "Fair Rosamond" de's mother was Margaret de Toeni. Her maternal grandparents were Ralph IV de Toeni , de Conches, Lord Flamstead and Alice de Huntingdon. She was an only child. She died at the age of 40 in 1176 in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England.General Notes
Rosamond; mistress of Henry II, known as "Fair Rosamond" and quite possibly mother of William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury. [Burke's Peerage]
Note: Rosamond, although Henry's "favorite mistress", was probably not William's mother. A "Countess Ida", in William's own words in two different donations in her name, was probably his mother. Some think that Ida was connected with the de Toeni family. I await further developments before changing William's mother.
