ROBERT [I] de Tosny (-[1088]). His connection with the Tosny family is confirmed by the charter dated 1063 which records the consent given by "Rotbertum de Toeniaco, avunculum domni Johanni monachi nostri, filii Widonis de Valle" to the donations by the latter to Marmoutier, authorised by "Berengerius filius eius"[1319]. “Robertum de Belvedeir---et A[dela]. uxor eius” founded Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire by charter dated to [1076][1320]. After the death of his wife Adela, Robert de Belvoir donated “land in Sapertune” to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire, with the consent of "his sons William and Geoffrey"[1321]. Domesday Book records “Robert de Tosny” holding Great Rissington, Horton and Sapperton in Gloucestershire; several properties in Northamptonshire;properties in Leicestershire; North Dalton and Naburn in Yorkshire; numerous properties in Lincolnshire[1322]. m ADELAIS, daughter of --- (-before 1088). “Robertum de Belvedeir---et A[dela]. uxor eius” founded Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire by charter dated to [1076][1323]. “Agnes de Toteneio” confirmed the donation to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire by "pater meus Robertus de Toteneio et mater mea Adelais", by undated charter[1324]. Robert [I] & his wife had six children:

a) BERENGER (-after 1086). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1063 which records the consent given by "Rotbertum de Toeniaco, avunculum domni Johanni monachi nostri, filii Widonis de Valle" to the donations by the latter to Marmoutier, authorised by "Berengerius filius eius"[1325]. Domesday Book records “Berengar de Tosny” holding land in Broughton and Horley, and "the same Berengar holds of Robert his father" in Bodicote, in Oxfordshire; "Berengar de Tosny" holding East Stoke, Syerston and land in Broadholme in Nottinghamshire; numerous properties in Yorkshire; West Allington in Lincolnshire[1326]. Berenger presumably died without direct heirs: many of the holdings which Domesday Book records in Lincolnshire in his and his father’s name were held in [1115/18] by his brother-in-law Robert de l’Isle (see below).

b) GUILLAUME . After the death of his wife Adela, Robert de Belvoir donated “land in Sapertune” to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire, with the consent of "his sons William and Geoffrey"[1327]. The brothers Guillaume and Geoffrey presumably died before [1115/18], when the Lindsay Survey records family properties in Lincolnshire held by their brother-in-law Robert de l’Isle.

c) GEOFFREY . After the death of his wife Adela, Robert de Belvoir donated “land in Sapertune” to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire, with the consent of "his sons William and Geoffrey"[1328]. The brothers Guillaume and Geoffrey presumably died before[1115/18], when the Lindsay Survey records family properties in Lincolnshire held by their brother-in-law Robert de l’Isle.

d) ALBREDA de Tosny (-before 1130). “H comes Norfulc” confirmed property to the monks of Kirkstall, for the soul of “Albrede de Insula amite mee”, by charter dated to [1154/76][1329]. If amita is translated strictly in this document, Albreda wasthe sister of Earl Hugh’s mother, Alice de Tosny married to Roger Bigod (see below). Her husband’s name, as well as her relationship with the Tosny family, are confirmed by the Lindsey Survey (quoted below) as her husband’s holdings were among those recorded in Domesday Book as held by Robert [I] de Tosny and his son Berenger in Lincolnshire[1330]. Robert Bishop of Lincoln confirmed possessions of Newhouse abbey, including "in Brodholm quicquid pertinet ad feudum Albrede de Tocnio", by charter dated to[1155/60][1331]. Albreda died before the taking of the 1129/30 Pipe Roll, presumably without surviving children, as her sister Adelise is there recorded in relation to their father’s land at Belvoir, Lincolnshire. m ROBERT de l’Isle, son of --- (-after[1115/18]). The Lindsey Survey, dated to [1115/18], records "Robert de l’Isle" holding land in Aisthorpe, South Carlton, Burton, Corringham, Bransby, Thorganby, Croxby, Binbrook, Orforth, Ludborough, and Fotherby[1332].

e) ADELISE de Tosny (-after 1136[1333]). Her parentage is indicated by the 1130 Pipe Roll which records "Adeliz uxor Rogi Big…tra patris sui de Belueder" in Lincolnshire[1334], which also indicates that Adelise succeeded her sister Albreda in theBelvoir estates of their father. It is also indicated by the charter dated 23 Apr [1430] under which her descendant “Thomas dominus de Ros, de Hamelake, de Trussebout et de Beavoir” confirmed the possessions of Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire made by "antecessores nostros…Robertum de Toteneio, Willielmum de Toteneyo filium suum, Agnetem de Toteneio filiam dicti Roberti de Toteneyo, Henricum de Rya filium Huberto de Rya, Agnetem de Toteneyo, Willielmum de Albeneio primum, Willielmum de Albeneio secundum, Willielmum de Albeneio tertium, Willielmum de Albeneio quartum, Ywynum de Albeneyo, Heliam de Albeneyo et uxores eorundem, Isabellam filiam domini Willielmi de Albeneio quæ fuit uxor domini de Ros, domini de Beauvoire et de Hamelake"[1335], the connection between Robert de Tosny Lord of Belvoir, father of Adelise, being established through the marriage of her daughter Cecilia to William de Albini Brito. "Rogerius Bigot…et uxoris mee Adalicie" donated the church of Thetford to Cluny dated [1100][1336]. “Rogerus Bygot” founded Thetford Priory, with the advice of “…uxoris meæ Adeliciæ”, by undated charter dated to the reign of King Henry I[1337]. m (before [1100]) as his second wife, ROGER Bigod, son of ROGER Bigod & his wife --- (-8 or 15 Sep 1107, bur Thetford[1338]).

Henry I King of England confirmed the donation of "decimas de Hokeringhe, de Swanetuna, de Depham, de Bukestuna, de Mercheshale" by "Hubertus de Ria…Agnes de Belfo uxor eius…cum Ricardo filio suo" to Holy Trinity, Norwich, at the request of "Henrici filii et heredis ipsorum", by charter dated to [1127][1340]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which her son “Henricus de Rya” confirmed the donations to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire by "Roberti avi mei et Agnetis matris meæ"[1341]. m firstly RALPH de Belfou [Beaufour], son of ---. m secondly HUBERT [II] de Rie, son of HUBERT [I] de Rie & his wife --- (-before 1127).
