  Came to England with William the Conqueror? Fought at Battle of Hastings?  (both disputed)
  
  Alured De Valer,a Norman knight who came over to England with William the conqueror,fought at the Battle
  of Hastings on October 14,1066 was granted land in England for his military service and whose name is in
  The Domesday Book.
  
  Generation 2 and 3,Unkown de valers.Statements have appeared in print that Alured de Valer Fought with
  William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hastings,14 october.1066;was giving land in England for his military service
  ;that his name is recorded in the Doomsday Book( published in in 1086)
  and that he died in 1183. now, since there is a spread of 117 years from the Battle of Hastings to the year of the
  Battle of Hastings to the year of 1183, it seems clear that the same person could not have taken part in that
  battle and lived until 1183 it has been decided that two generations of Valers must have existed between the
  veteran Hastings and the recorded death of Alured in 1183.
