Biography
Came to England with William the Conqueror. He was one of the commanders of the Archers du Val du real and Bretheul at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
He was a witness, along with William the Conqueror, to a grant which Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, made to the monks of Cerasie in Normandy. He gave his house in Jakesley to the monks of Eye.
His death date is stated to be about 1085 because he is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. So he might have died before the survey was made, or possibly returned to his Lordship in Normandy, France.
Research Notes
"Ranulph FitzRanulf de Glanville, said by Dugdale (1674) to have been one of the barons to Robert Mallet, Lord of the Honor of Eye, who gave to the monks of Eye a house in Tukesley, upon the foundation of that monastery (see Mon. Ang. Vol. 1, p. 357 1, n. 10). Gabriel D'Umoulin in his "Historie Generale de Normandie," etc., records that Ranulf "entered into England in the train of William the Conqueror, and who by his wife Flandrina had issue Robert, William, Dean of Liseaux, Walter, and Hervey."
