- [dunbar_tree.FTW]
William appears to be son of _____ Malet, a descendant of Robert (son of
Maleth, living 990), and a daughter of Leofric (ID3229) and Godiva
(ID3230)[see "Falaise Roll..." table cited for ID3229]. Carr P. Collins,
Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas: 1959), pp. 176 &
258, suggests that William, "Lord Malet," was Governor of York Castle and a
General and Companion of William the Conqueror, that he may be a brother of
King Harold's wife, that he is called a grandson of Godiva of Mercia, and
that his wife is Hesilla (Elsie) Crispin - and offers a chart showing
Hesilla as daughter of Gilbert Crispin and William as son of Alfgar III
(Earl of Mercia) and wife Princess Elfgifu (dau. of King Ethelred II of
England)(Alfgar III is son of Earl Leofric III and Lady Godiva). Cf. Arthur
Malet, "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family." "Ancestral
Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 234A-25 states William is "of Granville St.
Honorine, Normandy, at Battle of Hastings, 1066..."
