BIO: ENGLISH WARREN HISTORY The first Warren
known on English soil was William, Earl of Warren, who accompanied
William the Conqueror. He took an important part in the battle of
Hastings, fought Oct. 14, 1066, and was so highly esteemed by the
Conqueror that the latter gave him lands in almost every county in
England, and also conferred on him the Earldom of Surrey. He had
been Earl of Warren in Normandy, France, but on settling in England
selected for his residence the village of Lewes, in the county of
Sussex. He married Gundreda, the daughter of William the Conqueror.
William, the second Earl of Warren and Surrey, married Isabel, third
daughter of Hugh the Great, who was Earl of Vermandoise. She was the
widow of Robert de Beaumont Earl of Mellent in Normandy and Leicester
in England. William, the third Earl of Warren, married Adela,
only daughter of William Talvace, Earl of Ponthien and Sars. He
engaged in a crusade and was slain by the Turks in 1147. His heart
was buried in England. Adela, the wife, died Dec. 10, 1174. William de
Blois, fourth Earl of Warren and Surrey, was a natural son of
Geoffry Plantagenet, and therefore brother of King Henry II, by
marriage with Isabel, widow of the last Earl. The fifth Earl of
Warren died 1202, and was buried on the 7th of that month. The
countess Isabel died in July, 1199. William the sixth Earl of Warren
and Surrey, was eldest son of Hameloine Plantagenet and Isabel his
wife. He died in London, June, 1239. His first wife was Maud,
daughter of William d'Albini, Earl of Arundel. She had no children.
She died Feb. 2, 1215. His second wife was Maud, widow of Hugh
Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and eldest daughter of William Mareschal,
Earl of Pembroke. She died March 31, 1236. John, seventh Earl of
Warren, was a son of William, sixth Earl of Warren and Maud, his
wife. He married Alice, a daughter of Hugh le Brun, Earl of the
Marches of Acquitaine. He died near London, Sept. 27, 1304 (age 69).
Their children were William, Eleanor, and Isabel. William was
unfortunately killed in a tournament at Croydon, Dec. 15, 1286.
His son, John, became the successor of the grandfather. John, eighth
Earl of Warren, was born June 30, 1286. He married Joan, daughter
of Henry, Earl of Barr, and Granddaughter of King Henry I. He died
June 30, 1347. He died without lawful issue, and his inheritance went
to Alice, his sister, who married Edmond, Earl of Arundel. The title
thus reverted to the crown and the estate was taken by King Edward
III. The Norweigians, Swedes, and Danes, by a united effort, were
successful in forming a settlement in the northern part of France,
that was called Neustria, from which circumstance that part of the
country acquired the name of Normandy. This settlement was made
about the year 900 of the Christian Era. A danish Knight had 1.
