The identity of the father of Judith of Lens has been a topic of
conversation on this list of late. As no one has pointed out this 1999
source, I thought I would. The brand new Dr. Katharine S. B. Keats-Rohan
_Domesday People; A Prosopography of Persons Occurring in English
Documents, 1066-1166: 1-Domesday Book_ has just been published. I think
it was Todd Farmerie who mentioned it earlier in the week.

At any rate Judith is listed twice that I have found so far, once under
her mother's listing (Adelaid Comitissa de Albamarla) and secondly under
her own listing (Judita Comitissa). She is identified by Keats-Rohan as
niece of William I, daughter of Lambert, count of Lens and
Adelaide.There are more than 50 citations relating to Judith which could
be consulted for further documentation.
