Greetings,

I am looking for information on the wife of Castellan of Windsor Castle
Walter FitzOtho (ca1045-shortly after 1100) of Windsor, Berkshire, England.

There are three 'candidates' for the marriage.

1. Gwladus ferch Ryall, named on Peerage.com [as Gwladus ferch Comyn], with
her father being Ryall ap Comyn, citing a unpublished article and
unattributed "Pedigree Showing the Descent of the Family of King-Tenison
from The White Knight." Peerage.com also states she was also known as
Beatrice, citing Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition.

2. Gwladus verch Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn of Powys, Wales. (Highly unlikely, but
still oft cited.)

3. Beatrice de Offaly, of Offaly, Kildare, Ireland.

I am also looking for any near contemporary mention of Walter FitzOtho and
children, including:

1. William FitzWalter, Castellan of Windsor (1075-ca1161)
2. Robert FitzWalter, Baron of Easton (ca1080-ca1150)
3. Gerald FitzWalter, Castellan of Pembroke (ca1075-ca1135)
4. Maurice Fitzwalter, (before 1095-after 1136)
5. Reginald FitzWalter (d. after 1136)
6. NN (possible Hadwide) de Windsor

cheers, and thanks for any help,
