Notes on the family of Gerbod, Earl of Chester, and of Gundred, wife of William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey

The following is a collection of extracts from the source material relevant to Gerbod, Gundred and their family:

• Source documents

N.B. Two 19th-century contributions to the debate about Gundred have been made available online by Tom Burch and Ronnie Warren, Old Books on CD website: [formerly at http://www.oldbooksoncd.com/; not available, 14 May 2006; see the Internet Archive's copy of this page, from March 2005]

• Sir George Duckett, Observations on the Parentage of Gundreda The Daughter of William Duke of Normandy And Wife of William de Warenne (reprinted with additions from the Cumberland and Westmorland Society's Translations, vol.3, 1878) [not available, 14 May 2006; see the Internet Archive's copy of this page, from February 2005]
• Rev. John Scobell, A Brief Outline of the lives of Gundrad, and William Earl de Warenne... (1845) [not available, 14 May 2006; see the Internet Archive's copy of this page, from February 2005]

The genealogical position reflected by these works has long been discredited, but they make an entertaining read, and the second contains an interesting account of the discovery of the remains of William de Warenne and Gundred at Lewes.
