Notes


Loyd indicates that the Dunstanville family originated in “Dénestanville” in the present-day French département of Seine-Maritime (previously Seine-Inférieure), arrondissement Dieppe, canton Longueville[180]. This family has been the subject of unsubstantiated genealogies, based on forged documentation, probably compiled in the late 15th century. Eyton quotes from one of these genealogies and three of the alleged primary source documents on which it is based[181]. The purpose behind these late forgeries is unknown, as the family became extinct in the male line around two centuries earlier. The existence of these forgeries suggests that a policy of caution is preferable when reconstructing the early generations of the family. Secondary sources indicate that the later Dunstanvilles were descended from Rainald de Dunstanville who is shown below. The primary sources which confirm that this descent is correct have not yet been identified, and it is not known whether it is traceable only to one of the later forgeries. Two siblings: 1. RAINALD de Dunstanville (-after 1129). "…Reinaldus de Dunstanvilla…" subscribed a charter dated 28 Jun 1121 under which "Willelmus filius regis" donated "terra…Grenta de Stoca" to Bath St Peter[187]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Ragin de Dunstanvilla" in Wiltshire (two entries) and Surrey[188]. An undated charter records “Rainaldus de Dunstanvilla” among the benefactors of Lewes Priory and his donation of “Winterburnam…ecclesiam” in Wiltshire[189]. King Stephen confirmed donations to St. Pancras by undated charter, including the donation of Winterbourne church in Wiltshire made by "Reginald de Dunstanville"[190]. m ADELISE de l’Isle, daughter of ---. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Tierric fil Rogi filioli…hat rectu de hereditate sua. Et Adeliz de Dunestanvilla est inde pleg" in Wiltshire[191]. An undated charter of Henry I King of England records donations to Tewkesbury abbey including that of “terram de Poltona” {Potterne, Wiltshire} by “Adeliza de Insula” for the soul of "Reginaldi de Dunstanvilla viri sui"[192]. Secondary sources indicate that Adelisa was the daughter of Humphrey de l’Isle who is named in Domesday. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified 2. GUNDRED (-after [1129/30]). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Gunderede sorori Ragin de Dunestanvilla" in Wiltshire, on the same page as her supposed brother[193]. According to C. Phillips[194], this connection with Wiltshire makes it more likely that "Ragin. de Dunstanvilla" was a member of the Wiltshire Dunstanville family rather than the Earl of Cornwall. If this is correct, Gundred was not the daughter of King Henry I. This conclusion is also supported by the birth date ranges estimated for the earl of Cornwall ([1110/15], see the document ENGLAND KINGS) and his uterine brother Herbert FitzHerbert ([1125/35], see below in the present document), which render it unlikely that they would have had a sister who is recorded as a land-holder in 1130.
