General Notes

Baron of Yarmouth
Gerard de Gournay, Baron of Yarmouth, was a grand Seigncur. He married Edith, daughter of William, Earl of Varenne in France, and 1st Earl of Warren and Surrey, in England, so created by William, the Conqueror, with whom he came to England in 1066. They had five children: Hugues III, Gautier, Anseau, Gonnor and Gundred. He went on the First Crusade and died on the way home on the 8th of May, 1097. Edith, who had accompanied him, was taken back to Normandy by Drogon, a Chevallier and friend of Gerard, who after married her, and they had a son. Drogon had rich manoirs of his own, but Henry I, of England, under pretense of danger to Gerard's children, put senechals in all their manoirs, took their fortresses, and took Gerard's children to himself. Of the above children their daughter, Gundred de Gournay, married Nigel d'Albini, and Gonner.
